Ai fumes at boeing over snags in 787

New Delhi: Unhappy with the performance of the swanky new Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft due to “recurring technical snags”, a furious civil aviation ministry and Air India have summoned Boeing Corpora-tion’s top brass to India, top aviation sources told this newspaper.
Sources said of the three Dream-liners received so far, one or the other aircraft is usually grounded at a time due to some snag. Such snags in new aircraft have puzzled the airline.
“Such snags in factory-fresh aircraft can affect Air India operations. We are concerned,” top government sources said.
