New Delhi: Boeing has delayed deliveries of six Dreamliner aircraft to Air India by more than two years and the airline has decided not to seek compensation. "The deliveries will now begin from November 2016 and go on till August 2018," said a senior Air India official, who did not want to be identified. According to the earlier schedule, deliveries were to start from July 2015 and go on till March 2016.
The state-owned airline currently operates a fleet of 21 Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner aircraft, which were delivered after a delay of over three years. Boeing's compensation was questioned by a Parliamentary committee, which said the airline was paid only for a delay of 180 days.
Air India is not claiming any compensation for the delay in deliveries of these six aircraft.
