SriLankan gets contract to service IndiGo's aircraft

Colombo: SriLankan Airlines Engineering has secured its largest contract this year to conduct maintenance checks for an Indian airline.
IndiGo, India's budget carrier with a fleet of 48 Airbus A320 airliners has awarded the contract to SriLankan Engineering to conduct C-checks on 26 Airbus A320 through 2012.
This is the fourth consecutive year IndiGo has outsourced to SriLankan and this year's contract is the largest overseas outsourcing of maintenance, repair and overhaul work by an Indian carrier.
According to Aviation International News India's air carriers outsource the maintenance checks to foreign companies due to the unfavorable tax position with the country that makes the Indian MRO providers uncompetitive.
