The maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Nagpur, built by Boeing Co is to be operational by April-June 2015. This facility will be operated by Air India.
The taxiway from the main runway to the MRO is presently under construction and is expected to be completed within a few months.
The MRO facility is spread across 50 acre of land and can accommodate upto three wide-bodied aircraft at a time. It is projected to enhance revenues of Air India’s MRO unit - Air India Engineering Services (AIESL) - which has been hived into a separate company in 2013.
AIESL is expected to generate as much as Rs 800 crore to Rs 1,000 crore from the facility, within three years after the unit begins operation.
