Boeing gets 75-acre land in Nagpur for MRO

The Maharashtra Airport Development Company has decided to allocate 75 acres of land in Nagpur to aircraft major Boeing to set up its prestigious $100 million maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) facility.
MADC managing director and vice chairman R C Sinha said a decision on how much land should be given for the facility was delayed, as the aircraft manufacturer had initially demanded 80 acres adjacent to the 'Dr Babasahbe Ambedkar International Airport' in Nagpur which the MADC was reluctant to part with.
Boeing had, in April last year, announced the decision to set up the MRO in the city. It was part of an agreement with civil aviation ministry while giving final touches to procurement of a fleet of Boeing aircraft for national carrier Air India.
