New Delhi: US aircraft major Boeing will give a software upgrade to Air India's Dreamliners as these aircraft have been constantly developing snags, leading to frequent flight delays and cancellations. Aviation minister Ajit Singh said he raised this issue with Boeing when he was in Seattle, US, last week to take delivery of AI's tenth Dreamliner. Incidentally, all airlines globally using the Boeing 787 are facing technical issues and the problems are not isolated to AI alone.
"AI started getting the Dreamliners last year and some of those planes are now one to one-and-a-half year old now. They could not get a software and hardware upgrade earlier. Boeing has now said that the same will be done at the earliest. They have assured us that none of the issues being faced by airlines using the Dreamliner have any safety impact. We are watching the situation very closely," Ajit Singh said.
