New Delhi: A parliamentary committee has asked the government to take all steps to ensure time schedules fixed for delivery of aircraft to Air-India and Indian airlines by foreign manufacturers, including invoking the penalty clauses if the need arose.
The standing committee on transport, tourism and culture in its 106th report tabled in parliament on Monday said it hoped the civil aviation ministry "would not hesitate to invoke the penalty clauses in the terms and conditions of the purchases in the event of failure to adhere to the agreed timeframe of delivery of aircraft".
The committee, headed by CPI (M) MP Sitaram Yechury, also asked the government to ensure that the commitments made by aircraft manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus Industrie, to set up training centres, investing in areas like pilot training as well as on facilities for aircraft maintenance and repairs were implemented.
