New Delhi: Dubbing the grounded Boeing Dreamliner aircrafts as cheap ‘Chinese Toys’, former aviation minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain on Thursday said the government must pressurize the American company to provide another aircraft of the same category.
Earlier in the day, the DGCA grounded all six Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft operated by Air India after the same decision was made by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following repeated technical snags.
Speaking to reporters here, Hussain said the quality of the aircraft was not up to the mark.
“The Dreamliner is just like a Chinese toy. I have travelled by it several times. I have spoken to the crew members, who say that even the interior of the plane is like Chinese sofas, breaking into pieces,” said Hussain.
