On the civil aviation front, the company will plans to show off capabilities of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, 777, 747-8 passenger and freighter series, and the Next-Generation 737. The statement quotes Dinesh Keskar, President, Boeing India and Vice President, Boeing International as saying, “The breadth and depth of our commitment is demonstrated though our company-wide participation in defense and civil aviation at Aero India 2011.”
