Air India has terminated the contract with Turkish Technic, the company that maintains its Boeing 777 aircraft. This decision has been taken after Turkey supported Pakistan. The company’s CEO and MD Campbell Wilson told NDTV, if there is a problem in continuing the business in the current situation, then we will look for alternatives. We want to respect the sentiments of the public. The CEO said that some aircraft have already been sent to Turkey for maintenance. For servicing the remaining aircraft, options like the Indian government’s company AIESL, Abu Dhabi and Singapore are now being looked at.
