Central Government has started exploring the possibilities of changing the current Jumbo Boeing 747 planes of Air India used by the President & the Prime Minister.
Both the President & the Prime Minister have been using the old Boeing 747 planes when undertaking long flights.
However, these planes are more than 20 years� old. Also, they consume more fuel. Hence, the secretaries of the departments of Finance, Aviation, and Defence will be meeting to decide on changing these planes.
