Vadodara: An aircraft of the
cash-crunched pubic sector airliner Air India
has been lying grounded at Vadodara airport
in Gujarat for over two weeks as it was unable
to replace its faulty engine owing to tax dues
related issues, official sources said on
Thursday.
The engine of the Air India Airbus which had landed here in the evening of December 31 as flight number AI819 (Delhi-Vadodara) had developed some technical snag, Airport Director Charan Singh said. 'It is parked at our airport since then,' he said.
Mr Singh informed that even though this particular aircraft was grounded the operation of flight number AI819 was on with another aircraft. Meanwhile, Air India sources in the know of things said that the aircraft needed change in the spare parts of its engine to be able to fly again but the cash crunched airliner was unable to send the spares owing to around Rs 100 crore GST (tax) dues and related issues and incompleteness of papers and E-way bills.
