New Delhi, Jan 18: American aerospace company Boeing is liable to compensate Air India on fault in its 787 Dreamliner plane, the Civil Aviation Minster, Ajit Singh said.
He, however, also said that the aviation ministry has not yet arrived on any decision to prune the number of aircraft ordered by Air India.
Earlier on Friday, Air India grounded all six planes of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet after a directive from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to airlines flying the 50-odd aircraft around the world.
Ajit Singh also said there is yet no certainty on when the aircraft would fly again.
For cash-strapped Air India, which has ordered 27 Dreamliners, to be delivered by 2016, the aircraft are key to its turnaround plan.
