New Delhi: With the snag-prone Boeing 787 Dreamliners not proving as fuel efficient as Boeing had claimed they would be at the time of selling them to Air India, the airline is now going to seek compensation from Boeing on this count. Sources say if Boeing fails to pay adequate compensation on the failure of the "deal-clinching" promise of fuel consumption, AI could even consider not inducting more Dreamliners into its fleet.
"The Dreamliner's actual fuel consumption pattern over 18 months of usage (discounting the four months they were grounded globally last year) and the difference in what Boeing claimed would be this aircraft's fuel efficiency will be the basis of estimating the compensation to be sought from the aircraft manufacturer," said a senior official.
