New Delhi: State-owned Air India is looking to operate new international routes like Moscow, Rome and Milan in the coming months on its newly-acquired fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft to gain market share.
"Our team is already in Moscow to take the mandatory approvals for the first flight between Delhi-Moscow. The approvals are expected shortly and services will start immediately afterwards," a senior Air India official told IANS here.
According to the airline official, though the service will be started with the 747s due to climatic conditions, it will soon be shifted to 787s as more of these aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming months.
Currently, Air India has 13 Dreamliners which are operated to domestic and international destinations. The airline expects its another 787 aircraft to arrive within this month.
The highly fuel-efficient aircraft which utilises advance technologies like composite materials, newly-developed engine and advance avionics has been used to open new routes to United Kingdom and Australia.
