New Delhi: Air India would constitute a committee to evaluate the performance and efficiency of the 14 Boeing 787 Dreamliners it is set to add to its fleet by the end of the current financial year, before taking a final decision on induction of the remaining 13 aircraft on order for delivery by 2016.
A committee comprising senior officials from Air India, the ministry of civil aviation, the ministry of law and the ministry of finance would carry out the performance audit assisted by executives with technical expertise. This is the first time that the airline would be conducting performance evaluation of aircraft in service before deciding on induction of additional 787s in its fleet.
A senior executive at Air India said, “There were certain performance and operational guarantees specified in the purchase agreement as relates to fuel efficiency levels, maintenance checks and other technical issues.
