Air India’s Amritsar-Delhi-Birmingham-Delhi-Amritsar route service will feature the state-of-the-art Dreamliner aircraft. The ailing national carrier purchased 27 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircrafts in September last year.

Air India became the first Indian airline and world’s fifth airline to take the delivery of a 787 Dreamliner. The airline aims to save costs on fuel efficiency with the new fuel-efficient Dreamliner aircrafts.
