Air India Launches Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with Restrictions

Air India is starting to use its new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner plane on February 1.

The plane will fly from Mumbai to Frankfurt.

Some parts of the plane, like the privacy doors in Business Class and 18 seats in Economy Class, won't work or be used right away.

The airline is waiting for approval from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fix these issues.

The plane has 296 seats in total, with 30 in Business Class, 28 in Premium Economy, and 238 in Economy.

Other airlines have also faced similar problems with new planes.
