Indocopters' third MRO facility in Bangalore to open soon

Indian helicopter sales and support company Indocopters will open its third maintenance, repair and overhaul facility for Eurocopter rotorcraft in Bangalore in the second quarter of 2010.
The company, which distributes and maintains Eurocopter aircraft in India, also plans to open a fourth MRO facility in Bhubaneshwar in eastern India.
This will "mostly likely come up in Bhubaneshwar by the second half of this year", says Eurocopter chief executive Mike Meyer.
Indocopters, part of Vectra Group, already has MRO facilities in Greater Noida and Mumbai. It is investing Rp1.5 billion ($33 million) in the first three MRO facilities, it says.
Indocopters has facilitated the sale of around 20 Eurocopter types over the past three years including four helicopters to private owners and commercial operators at the India Aviation air show in Hyderabad earlier this month.
