Sharil Abdul Rahman 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2014 Apparently a 787 from Air India had some bad software failure(s), and had to divert to KUL. http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5988118/ http://avherald.com/h?article=46f971be&opt=0 From the report - all three(???) Flight Management Computers failed. Oh wow, that sound really bad. On another note, anyone heading to KUL to capture the flight? an Air India replacement should be on its way to pick up the passengers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delays mean we put up passengers in hotels, accommodate them on other flights and end up spending huge sums, apart from earning the flyers' anger," said an official.

flee 5 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 I don't think the airline can absolve itself from all blame. Afterall, it chose to buy that plane, and is also responsible for its operations and maintenance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
