A question of answers

With Air India's 787 Dreamliners set to resume operations today after being grounded a few months ago on safety issues, questions were raised about the compensation Boeing is offering for losses that the national carrier incurred. The compensation amount being negotiated being strictly confidential, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh adroitly skirted the question by laughingly acknowledging it. "Very good question. It's interesting," he said and quickly went on to other issues.
