Mumbai: Jet Airways has earmarked an investment of $60 million for its much-awaited maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) hub, which is likely to come up at Bangalore, a senior airline official said.
The other locations being considered are Delhi and Nagpur.
"Among the three, Bangalore looks more likely," said the official, who preferred anonymity. The MRO will be spread over an area of 25-50 acres of land and will carry out maintenance work of the airline's fleet as well as third party works. It will be capable of carrying out maintenance work of both Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
"The first priority of the MRO will be the airline's fleet, but it will also carry out third party works," the official said.
The MRO, to be built on joint venture basis, will have a foreign partner who the airline is yet to decide on.
