Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari today said aircraft manufacturing major Boeing, which had invested US $100 million in Air India's Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) facility here, has disassociated itself with the MRO citing financial constraints.
Gadkari, along with Air India CEO HR Jagannath, visited the MRO facility and took stock of the progress work.
He said the facility, being developed in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Multi Modal International Passenger and Cargo Hub in Nagpur (MIHAN), will soon start its operations of maintenance of Air India aircraft.
Boeing had entered into a joint venture (JV) with Air India for setting up and operating the MRO but it will now only be an Air India show.
Gadkari said the entire MRO will be managed by Air India where wide-bodied aircraft will also be taken for maintenance.
