MRO service provider StandardAero open to form joint venture in India
One of the world’s largest aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) companies is open to set up shop in the country by forming a joint venture (JV) with an Indian firm.
US-based StandardAero, which currently runs 55 MRO facilities in 13 countries, will make the decision after gauging the engine workload at Safran’s proposed facility in Hyderabad, said Tayeb Bouhassis, regional sales director (airlines & fleets), StandardAero, while speaking at industry event ‘Aero MRO 2023’ on Tuesday.
Last year, French engine manufacturer Safran had said that it would establish its largest MRO facility for commercial aircraft engines in Hyderabad by 2025.
