AI receives 3rd Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Air India received its third Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the first aircraft coming out of the new North Charleston facility of the American manufacturer, the company said today.

"We are delighted to be the first airline in the world to take delivery of a Dreamliner from this beautiful factory and look forward to taking many more," Air India Board member K M Unni said after receiving the first plane from the new plant.

In September, Air India took delivery of its first of the 27 Dreamliners on order.
