Mumbai/New Delhi: With its latest acquisition -- the Dreamliner -- facing technical trouble, Air India and the Civil Aviation Ministry would await the findings of the US Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) probe into the problems faced by Boeing 787s before taking any decision.
Following the recent trouble erupting in an aircraft owned by Japan Airlines, American manufacturer Boeing jointly announced investigations into the matter with the FAA on Friday.
The plane has had three technical mishaps this month, including an electrical fire in a Japan Airlines plane, a fuel leakage and a broken cockpit window.
"There is nothing to be done by us at present. We have already carried out inspections and checks on our aircraft on our own, including on the lithium ion batteries," senior Air India officials said, adding "we are awaiting any advise from the FAA or Boeing."
