Air India would get compensated by Boeing for the battery trouble plaguing its latest Dreamliner planes, all of which have been grounded, but discussions on the issue would take place later.
"There will be some compensation. ...Let us wait a while. We will discuss with Boeing only when the things settle down," civil aviation minister Ajit Singh told reporters here.
He ruled out a time-frame for the discussion on compensation saying, "there can't be a last date. Safety is important. (After the problems are fixed) the FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration) has to certify the planes. The DGCA has also to certify them."
