Air India’s first Dreamliner arrives in Delhi

The advanced Boeing 787 Dreamliner of Air India touched down at Delhi’s IGI Airport on Saturday, ending an over four-year wait of the struggling national carrier to add this next-generation airplane in its fleet. The plane, painted in red and yellow livery of Air India, landed at the main runway of the airport at 1705 hours (IST) and was given water-cannon salute as it taxied to the bay. After parking, a small religious ceremony was conducted to welcome the aircraft in the presence of Air India Chief Managing Director Rohit Nandan and senior Civil Aviation Ministry and airline officials.
