New Delhi: India is "concerned" about the recent glitches in Boeing Co's 787 Dreamliner jets and is awaiting a safety report by the National Transportation Safety Board, a senior government official said on Friday. The Dreamliner jet had three technical mishaps in as many days in January, including an electrical fire that caused severe damage to a plane.
US transportation authorities are launching a review of the Dreamliner, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday. State-controlled Air India has ordered 27 Dreamliners.
There was no immediate suggestion that the 787 Dreamliner, the world's first passenger jet built mainly from carbon-plastic lightweight materials to save fuel, was likely to be grounded as investigators looked into the incidents.
