AThe Air India MRO began operations a year ago
Nagpur is not a busy airport so planes have to be specially diverted here for maintenance
So far 10 Boeing 777s were serviced which flew in and out empty
To recover expenses Air India will operate commercial but unscheduled flights from the MRO
Boeing 777s are not deployed in Nagpur in normal course
The new arrangement will give a chance to flyers to travel in a Boeing 777 from Nagpur
Generally the flights will be to Delhi and Mumbai
Schedule will be decided on the basis of maintenance work
Huge Boeing 777-300 rolled down a road on 22nd April 2015 towards MRO hanger. The 275 tonne flying machine pulled by an aircraft tractor held everyone in awe as it took the first steps towards starting the much-touted $100 million maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) depot at Mihan. The MRO, which was announced nearly 10 years ago, has been used as a USP to pull investors to Mihan
The MRO built by US aircraft giant Boeing Inc will be run by Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), which took a trial run on the recently completed 2.6km taxiway connecting the facility to the airport. The company hopes to formally inaugurate the set-up by the month end, with chances of Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the event.
A Maintenance-Repair-Overhaul (MRO) facility by the American aircraft manufacturer Boeing on 50 acres of land at the Airport.
The $100 million project is part of a deal between the Air India and Boeing and have two 100 x100 metre hangars, to accommodate wide-body aircraft like Boeing-777 and 747-800 and another 24,000 sq metres area for the allied work.
Nagpur was chosen for the project because of its central geographical location and its high temperatures similar to those in the Western regions of the USA, with temperature highs of 44-45 degrees Celsius. These conditions are most favourable for aircraft manufacturing, as they are away from corrosion and sea water contamination.
This greenfield project will be Boeing's second in the world after Shanghai in China and will feature solar power facility, natural lighting system and a rain water harvesting system.
