According to reports on February 20, earlier this month, Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on MRO services for civil aircraft. The focus of their cooperation is to strengthen the MRO capabilities of India's aviation industry and promote investment in advanced technologies.
The memorandum of understanding will enable AIESL and HAL to provide a wider range of MRO services at a lower cost, including the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of large aircraft. At the same time, it will create new employment opportunities for veterans and fresh graduates. The two companies will also cooperate to promote innovation in the fields of engineering and research.
Meanwhile, Tata Advanced Systems in India is building a defense MRO facility in Bangalore to support the Lockheed Martin C - 130J "Super Hercules" fleet of the Indian Air Force. This MRO facility will be operated in cooperation with Lockheed Martin to take full advantage of the region's infrastructure, skilled labor force, and industry - friendly policies.
