Thiruvananthapuram: The joint secretary of civil aviation G Ashok Kumar visited the Air India maintenance, repair and overall (MRO) facility at the Trivandrum International Airport on Monday to review the functioning of the recently installed facility.
"The joint secretary has been put in-charge of the MROs and wanted a first hand understanding of the issues pertaining to the MRO at Thiruvananthapuram. I've briefed him about the various bottlenecks such as obtaining third party business, taxation and the like and he has invited me to New Delhi for a more comprehensive discussion. I hope he will help us out and fuel our growth," said chief engineer, AIE, H R Jagannath.
The Air India hangar, which started functioning early this year, has been undertaking wheels production (overall servicing of wheels) and routinely conducting phase check, which is done after every 500 hours of flying.
