"Air India is entitled for compensation for the delays in the delivery of Boeing 787 Dreamliners," said Boeing India president Dinesh Keskar.
The state-run carrier had ordered 27 Dreamliners, but Boeing failed to supply those planes by the scheduled September 2008 timeline. Air India has sought compensation of $710 million from Boeing for the delay in deliveries.
Air India chairman and MD Arvind Jadhav had told the Committee on Public Undertakings that the "US aircraft maker had confirmed $145 million as compensation for the delay in deliveries".
