US-based largest global aircraft manufacturers Boeing will pay $500 million as compensation to Air India for the delays in delivering the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The original compensation demand by Air India was $1 billion.
A senior aviation minister told Times, “Air India has demanded $1billion but Boeing has so far agreed to pay only $500 million as compensation for the delay. But we are trying to push Boeing to pay more.”
Indian career Air India had placed order of 27 Dreamliners with Boeing. Boeing was suppose to start delivering the aircraft from September 2008 till now not a single Dreamliner was delivered. As per Boeing, the delayed happen due to the problems with vendors and labours. Now the delivery of first Dreamliner to Air India would come later half of 2012, and the completion of delivery of all ordered Dreamliners could be possible by 2016.
