New Delhi: Air India's fancied Boeing 787, popularly known as Dreamliners, were grounded from Sunday for software upgrade and other enhancements.
The aircrafts, believed to be one of the most fuel-efficient, have been in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Now, experts have started questioning whether Air India made a hasty decision in buying these aircrafts.
Air India has some 10 Dreamliners in its fleet.
