The brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner seems to have let down Air India (AI) again as scared passengers refused to board the plane at Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris, after the Delhi-bound flight was delayed by 24 hours due to a technical snag on September 28.
Over 250 passengers had reached the Airport on time to check in on Saturday.
Sources said that the passengers were caught unawares as they were informed of the snag merely a few minutes before departure.
AI is tight-lipped over the nature of the technical fault.
"We flew our engineers to Paris to get the Dreamliner's snag rectified," the AI spokesman said. However, he did not disclose the technical problem.
According to a senior pilot, "It was the 'usual' technical problem that has been recurring in the Dreamliners."
Senior pilots said that it has not been easy for the Maharaja to maintain the "troublesome" Dreamliners.
