Air India to Upgrade Dreamliner Critical Parts
Mint Hyderabad
|August 11, 2025
Air India on Sunday said it will upgrade the avionics and other critical components of its 26 legacy B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft to reduce operational disruptions as well as improve overall reliability.
In recent times, the airline has faced operational issues with some of its planes, including the Dreamliner. Air India's Dreamliners—26 legacy 787-8s and seven 787-9s—had undergone checks, including that of fuel switches, after the fatal crash of a London Gatwick-bound 787-8 plane soon after takeoff from Ahmedabad that killed 260 people on 12 June.
