Vijayawada: Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and Isolation Bay are part of the master plan for the world-class airport coming up at Gannavaram near Vijayawada and the funds required for their setting them up are being worked out.
The MRO hangars are where repairs and overhaul of aircraft are carried out. They are present only at a few airports. Shamshabad Airport and Chennai Airport have the facility.
The Vijayawada Airport, which, at present, is the principal airport for the new capital city of Amaravati, is still in the planning stage.
The MRO and isolation bay need large space and the same has been factored into the master plan for the airport. “We have planned MROs and isolation bays to handle the largest aircraft - A698s along with expanding length and breadth of the runway in accordance with international airport norms,” Vijayawada Airport director M Raja Kishore told Express.
