Air India’s aged fleet in Gulf to be replaced

UAE based businessman M.A.Yousuf Ali, a member of the board of directors, proposed the meeting following a series of events affecting the airline’s service to Gulf-based passengers over the last several months. After the meeting was held NACIL chairman and managing director Arvind Jadhav instructed officials to make sure there were never any flight delays of more than two hours. To achieve this aim, the officials have decided to replace the aged fleet: “Old aircrafts flying in the Gulf sector will be replaced by newer ones.”

In order to minimize frequent delays caused by technical problems, an aircraft will be stationed on standby mode at Calicut airport that will replace any flight delayed for technical reasons.
