New Delhi: Air India's domestic passengers will also get to fly the Boeing 787 aircraft, popularly called the Dreamliner.
In an effort to build up enough crew resources, the airline plans to deploy the new aircraft on domestic metro routes and short-haul international routes starting from the second week of June. The proposed deployment on these routes will be an interim measure and it would be wrong to say the aircraft will only operate on domestic routes, a person familiar with the development said.
The decision could see the airline use the new aircraft to operate one of the scheduled return flights from Delhi to Mumbai and Hyderabad that are currently operated with another aircraft for about 6-12 weeks. The new aircraft are also likely to operate on short-haul international routes such as flights to Singapore and Dubai, sources added.
