“Air India has reported above 337 glitches in the aircraft which is much lower than the glitches which have been reported by other airlines in similar aircraft. Moreover, any aircraft, which flies for the first one and a half years, there are lot of things which happen. And these glitches have nothing to do with the safety issue. Boeing is also working on sorting out glitches,” the official said.
To a question on the compensation from Boeing for the losses accrued due to the grounding of the aircraft, Kumar said Air India is working on a proposal seeking compensation from the aircraft maker.
“The compensation that Air India had sought earlier for the delayed deliveries has already been agreed upon and Boeing has started making the payments also,” he added.
