AAI proposes to offer land at 8 airports for MRO

New Delhi: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has identified land at eight airports, which include ones at Begumpet, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai, Juhu, Kolkata, New Delhi and Tirupati, for inviting bids to set up Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) units to service aircraft, civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.

This is part of the government’s vision to make the country a hub for MRO and related work.

“The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has come up with a liberal Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) policy with significantly reduced liberalised land rentals,” Puri said adding that no revenue share will be charged from MROs by AAI under the new contracts.
