Sri Lanka - IndiGo extends aircraft maintenance contract to SL

India’s low-fare airline, IndiGo, has contracted SriLankan Engineering to carry out major maintenance programmes on its fleet of aircraft in 2010, following the success of a similar programme on 12 of its aircrafts this year.
The 2010 programme is expected to include ‘C-checks’ on 10 Airbus A320 aircrafts at SriLankan Engineering’s hangar complex at the Bandaranaike International Airport. SriLankan Engineering has already completed 12 of 13 C-checks this year on IndiGo’s Airbus A320 fleet. C-checks are mandatory maintenance programmes which are carried out periodically on every commercial aircraft.
Sri Lanka’s National Carrier has made a significant investment in recent years to transform its aircraft maintenance arm, SriLankan Engineering, and position it as a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) institution of choice in the South Asian region. SriLankan Engineering specialises in Airbus aircraft, with the SriLankan fleet being comprised of A320, A330, and A340 aircraft.
