The advent of low-cost airlines, ever-increasing passenger traffic and fleet expansion in the Indian aviation sector has opened up a whole new business avenue for global aircraft companies in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). A typical MRO facility provides major and minor maintenance, modifications, refurbishment and repairs of aircraft. Boeing and Airbus have announced their plans for MRO facilities in India. Others include Timco Aviation Services, USA, Max Aerospace & Aviation, India, Singapore Airlines and Singapore Technologies Aerospace, Lufthansa Technik, Germany, and El Al, Israel. Even renowned engine manufacturers such as GE, Rolls Royce, Snecma, CFM International and Pratt & Whitney are planning to develop MRO facilities here.
