Air India had another B-777 parked in nearby New York’s John F Kennedy Airport . The airline took out some seat belts from this plane (VT-ALJ) and flew them to Chicago on a Delta flight. Clearly, AI is not happy.An airline spokesman said: “The seat belts were perfectly fine. This is an instance of impractical or irrelevant stipulations being imposed on Air India by FAA. While technically FAA was correct in pointing out the missing TSO tags, we told them that new seat belts have been ordered and the old ones will be replaced very soon.
