"A total of three aircraft are ready for delivery at the Boeing's South Carolina factory. The first Dreamliner will take off from the US and is likely to arrive here on Tuesday," airline sources said.
The national carrier, which has ordered for 27 Dreamliners, will take the delivery of the rest two by early next month and get all the aircraft by the year 2016.
Air India was the second airline to place orders for 27 B-787s but is yet to receive the aircraft even as two Japanese carriers, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, have started flying them.
The first Dreamliner was to have been delivered to Air India in the year 2008. MORE
