Ha!
I'll believe it when I see it.. As you say on off they literally just abruptly announced they wouldn't fly to mel days before the launch flight. Pretty unreliable as are alot from that region.. Big plans it seems but not much action ! |

Nothing wrong with Air India trying to remain optimistic Brendan.

When i was in seattle mid may, i reckon once the first 787 is delivered, you will see the first 10 or so pump out pretty much straight away. I saw an abundance of ANA, JAL and Air India sitting there, and a China Southern all almost ready and painted to go.... Of course, i can't really say what the interiors were like though. OH, and well the test program ended up in Japan and India this week. Lets hope they all got everything sorted. Would be a shame to see more delays, because airports and carriers weren't ready for them!

Will see it when I believe it
Air India's said numerous times the MEL service is a priority (for at least 18 months now) yet they had a launch which was aborted (almost with no announcements when most of us spotters still thought it would arrive late last year )
I will be glad to see them come (if indeed they do), I just think an announcement so prematurely- as Brenden says without a firm timetable on when they will recieve their 787s is not to be taken too seriously! |
