Air India is leasing six Boeing 777s for North American operations.

Six Boeing 777 aircraft will be leased by Air India. This is because several of the current Air India B777 airplanes are currently experiencing delays in North America as a result of their interior conditions.

An airline official who asked to remain anonymous said, “Taking into account the impact on the airline operations, it has been determined that the company will lease six B777 to conduct its ultra-long-haul flights [lasting over 16 hours)”. “There are no other problems with the [current] aircraft.”
