MRO arm to service SpiceJet planes
Air India’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) arm, Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), has signed a pan-India contract for maintenance of SpiceJet’s aircraft.
AIESL will also approach Vistara to maintain its latest aircraft additions, said Air India officials.
However, AIESL will be “cautious” before taking on long-term contracts as parent Air India is headed for disinvestment for which the Centre is planning to invite bids. Air India’s net loss in 2018-19 was around ₹8,556 crore.
An AIESL official said the company is profitable and has been winning contracts from various airlines. It already has contracts for servicing planes of GoAir and and a few foreign airlines.
