Nagpur: The first Boeing 777, which checked in at the Air India's maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) depot, flew back after a four-day check-up. This was the first aircraft to undergo a maintenance process at the MRO in Mihan-SEZ, which is yet to have a formal inauguration.
The aircraft, which underwent what is called a phase level check in aviation jargon from last Friday to Tuesday morning, finally took off at around 10am. "This helped in serving a dual purpose," said a source in Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), the company which runs the MRO.
Apart from the aircraft maintenance, it also helped in validating the equipment provided by the US-aircraft maker which built the MRO and handed it over to AIESL. "The operation was carried out successfully," said the source.
