The Air India MRO facility based in Hyderabad is seeking to expand/upgrade its operations to serve a wider range of aircraft while working towards EASA 145 certification.
The MRO, set up in 2015, is in talks with ATR to set up a servicing facility and Indigo, which has a big base here, to offer services.
EASA certification
The European Aviation Safety Agency certification aligned to the maintenance will enable the AI facility to re-certify foreign aircraft being deployed in the country.
Explaining the functioning of the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility at the site located close to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad, Air India officials said there is growing demand for MRO services, including spares and overall maintenance.
