Initially the facility will be equipped with six narrow body bays, including one bay for painting. The complex will eventually have 16 bays and component repair workshops available for airline clients. It is scheduled to be opened in the fourth quarter of this year.
AAR president and chief operating officer, John Holmes, said last month: “We are excited to expand AAR’s MRO expertise outside the Americas in partnership with Indamer, which has the local market and cultural knowledge needed for success. We are looking forward to bringing our MRO experience to central India to serve the country’s fast-growing airlines.”
Said Indamer Aviation CEO, Rajeev Gupta: “When we started planning a new MRO in India, we knew we wanted to leverage the experience of a leading independent MRO that had been successful in more mature aviation markets. AAR is the ideal partner for us and brings the knowledge and processes needed to help establish in-country capability and jobs in aircraft heavy maintenance.”
