Air India-Boeing 787 Spat Cleared Up?
Airnation.net Newswire
It looks as if the ‘disagreement’ between Air India, Boeing, 787 deliveries and ‘give us a price break on your planes because they’re over 3 years late or we don’t want ‘em’ has like been resolved.
That’s because Indian Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh stood before microphones and cameras in New Delhi and announced that the airline had accepted Boeing’s proposed compensation for more than three years of delivery delays.
Just last week, Singh had said Air India wouldn’t take any of the 27 Dreamliners it ordered in 2005 until the compensation issue had been resolved.
“Air India board has accepted the proposal, they have talked with the management of the Boeing and they have come up with a figure, and now it will go CCEA,” Singh said, referring to the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, which is expected to take up the matter as early as today.
Earlier this year, Air India reportedly was seeking $1 billion, and Boeing was reported to have offered half that sum, which Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Jim Albaugh emphatically denied.

500 million?? I guess that’s not that bad… That’s like what, the cost of 2 planes? LOL
Boeing is insane…
‘Boeing is insane…’
First good comment you’ve made all week Chris! :)
Do you take things out of context because you’re intellectually incapable of understanding the English language? Or because you only see what you “want to” see?
My comment clearly applies to the fact that Boeing is giving this airline 500 million dollars.
Relax Chris. I was joking. :)
