Kingfisher, Abu Dhabi firm in talks for MRO centre

New Delhi: Domestic carrier Kingfisher Airlines is holding talks with a Abu Dhabi-based engineering firm to start a private maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in the country.
"We are discussing with an Abu Dhabi based firm to establish an MRO in the country," Kingfisher Airlines promoter Vijay Mallya said here on Friday.
Both sides, he said, had agreed to set up this facility, but the venue, costs and other issues were yet to be finalised.
Mallya, who has been trying to start overseas operations but is unable to do so in view of government rules, said his airline would shortly apply for starting an airline in the US to enable it to operate flights into India.
He said an application was being "compiled by our attorneys and it will be submitted (to the American authorities) in the next six to eight weeks".
