The Boeing 787 Dreamliners of Air India will again take to the skies from Wednesday after being grounded since mid-January. The US aircraft major has carried out changes in two of the six Dreamliners and AI will deploy them on domestic flights between the hub Delhi to Bangalore and Kolkata. International flights will start from next Wednesday. 

Aviation minister Ajit Singh said Boeing will rectify all the six Dreamliners in AI fleet by the month-end and the airline will get eight more B-787s by this December on which new flights will be launched. "AI will start flights on the Dreamliner to Birmingham, Sydney and Melbourne in August. In October, it will start flights to Italy (Rome and Milan). And, early next year will see flights to Moscow. These flights will be to and from Delhi," Singh said. AI will get compensation from Boeing for the B-787s' January-May grounding.
