Mumbai: A team of engineers from US aerospace giant Boeing is arriving here on Tuesday to reset the batteries of six Dreamliner aircraft of Air India which are grounded since January after battery fire incidents, sources in the national carrier said.
The Government-run airline plans to put back at least two of the six grounded planes into operations by May 10.
“A team of around 30 engineers is coming to India to reset the batteries of the grounded planes (Boeing-787s) to enable them to fly again,” the sources told PTI here on Sunday.
The team, after its arrival, is expected to work on these planes round-the-clock as the airline plans to make all six Dreamliner aircraft operational by the May-end, they said.
“As of now we plan to put into service the first aircraft on May 5 and the second by May 9 once the batteries are reset,” the sources said.
