Air India looks to tow planes of rivals at repair hub

New Delhi:  Air India will look for business from its rivals for its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) hub at Nagpur, which will come up by the middle of next year.
The national carrier is targeting a four-fold jump in earning from maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to Rs 400 crore from Rs 100 crore within four years as part of its financial turnaround plan.
The national carrier has been working hard to get back on its feet ever since its restructuring plan was put in place in April 2012.
“The Nagpur facility will help us showcase our capabilities as a state-of-the-art MRO, which will be on a par with other major global counterparts. We hope to bag major contracts once its starts,” a senior AI official said.
The much delayed $100-million facility is being jointly set up by Air India and Boeing at the Mihan SEZ in Nagpur.
