State-run Air India is open to selling all eight of its Boeing 777 passenger aircraft, Chairman Rohit Nandan said, and the debt-ridden carrier is seeking Boeing's help in talks with potential buyers.

Air India will replace the routes flown by the aircrafts with high-tech 787 Dreamliner jets initially, he said.

Air India has recently informed the Parliament about its decision to sell Boeing 777-200LR aircraft owing to change in market dynamics due to global recession, steep increase in fuel prices and poor yields on non-stop routes.
