New Delhi: A crippling shortage of Dreamliner pilots -- caused by a spate of resignations in recent months -- along with snags in this aircraft is now playing havoc with Air India flight schedules.
The Delhi-Hong Kong-Osaka-Hong Kong-Delhi flight that was supposed to depart on Friday night had to be cancelled due to unavailability of cockpit crew to operate it. The flight finally took off on Saturday night and that too for operating only on Delhi-Hong Kong-Delhi route without going to Japan.
Earlier this week, two Boeing 787s suffered snags in Paris on successive nights due to which they had to be grounded there for a day each.
