Boeing Dreamliner soon to arrive in India's troubled airline market

Seattle: Boeing's first delivery of a 787 Dreamliner outside Japan is finally expected to go ahead soon, following an agreement with Air India on compensation for more than three years of delays.
India's national flag carrier still faces serious financial and labor trouble at home. Indeed, the entire Indian aviation market is in turmoil, despite healthy projected long-term growth.
And yet, as airlines there jockey for position in an uncertain future, a high-stakes battle for a key Indian order is looming in the bitter sales war between Boeing's 737 MAX and Airbus' A320neo.
Air India is bleeding billions of dollars, its pilots are on strike, and many of its long-haul routes are suspended.
