Kochi: The Aircraft Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) wing of the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) is at its final stages of completion. The CIAL officials are in talks with four major European companies for technical joint venture for the MRO facility. On completion, the facility will provide a large number of direct as well as indirect jobs.
As part of the MRO facility, line maintenance work is already operational at the airport and a twin hangar facility to carry out major maintenance at CIAL is already in place.
“The MRO facility of CIAL is yet to become full swing. Talks are on for a technical joint venture partner for the project. Since CIAL is looking for an international partner, it will take more time to realise the project,” CIAL sources said.
For the MRO facility to become full fledged, major maintenance facility has to be operational.
