Übermittelt vor 5 Jahren

The Indian government has revealed that 15 aircraft from Air India's fleet have been grounded due to lack of engines and spares. Responding to queries in parliament, minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha says that as of 6 December, two Boeing 787-8s, three 777s and 10 Airbus A320 family aircraft "were on ground for want of engines and spares".

This is one way of preparing to handover the operations to private operators and FIs.

Better to say a “lack of money, training and honesty”! When you are 600’ low (200’asl) ) at 2.5 miles from the runway on an ILS (Hong Kong) and it takes a EGPWS warning to get your attention! This carrier is headed for a catastrophe!
