Chennai: With its fleet size set to expand, low cost carrier Go Airlines is in talks with two European carriers for an aircraft maintenance and spare parts agreement, a top company official said Thursday.
The airline, which would begin operations from Chennai from May 1 as part of a strategy to strengthen the existing network, wants the government to relax the norms of Indian carrriers flying overseas.
"We are in talks with two European carriers for aircraft maintenance and spare parts agreement. The talks are on and the deal is yet to be finalised," Chief Executive Giorgio De Roni told reporters here.
Currently, the aircraft maintenance is done in-house. "With our fleet size increasing it is better to have a maintenance agreement with another carrier so that costs come down. The minor maintenance activities will be carried out here and for major overhaul the aircraft would be flown abroad," Kamal Kikani, vice president, customer service and airports, told IANS.
