Mumbai: Two months after Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari had said Boeing had disassociated itself with the much-delayed USD 100-million MRO facility in Nagpur, the American planemaker has said it has completed the work and handed over the facility to Air India last month.
"Let me inform you that we have now nothing to do with the MRO (maintenance, repair & overhaul) facility at Nagpur as we recently handed over the facility to Air India under the 2005 agreement. The aviation regulator DGCA has also given its approvals to the facility," Boeing senior vice-president for sales (commercial airplanes) for Asia-Pacific & India Dinesh A Keskar told reporters here over the weekend.
He blamed for the delay in building the 2.6-km taxiway connecting the facility to the airport for which the land acquisition was a contentious issue.
