Broke Maharaja pampers desi flyers

Mumbai: It is a brand new aircraft. There are only 30-odd of its kind in the world as of now. It is all about passenger comfort as it has been made to fly on long-haul international routes. But in India, one can fly the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with a domestic air ticket from next week onwards.
From September 19, Air India will be operating its Delhi-Chennai-Delhi and Delhi-Bangalore-Delhi flights with its spanking new Dreamliner aircraft. "For passengers in India, it is a wonderful chance to experience the aircraft. No airlines would put a long-haul aircraft and that too a recently-launched one on domestic routes to operate on a two-hour or forty-minute flight," said an aviation analyst, on condition of anonymity.
"For frequent flyers and aviation enthusiasts, it's a great opportunity to earn some bragging rights," he added. Other airlines in the world that fly the Dreamliners, like All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, have put their B-787s on long-haul routes.
