Air India is planning to bring all of its 17 aircraft, which have been grounded for a “prolonged” period, back into operation by October-end, its chief Ashwani Lohani has said.
These 17 aircraft have been grounded for time periods ranging from four months to one year due to lack of funds for their repair and maintenance.
“We plan to retrieve all 17 prolonged grounded aircraft by the end of October,” Air India Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Ashwani Lohani told PTI on Monday.
