IndiGo to Open MRO Facility at Bangalore Airport

InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) has signed an agreement with Bangalore International Airport Limited to build a Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) facility. The 20-year agreement will see InterGlobe build a hangar of 13,000 square metres on a plot of land of five acres. The facility will be able to accommodate two narrow-body aircraft and support infrastructure including a Quick Engine Change (QEC) shop, warehouse and engineering offices. The MRO will be the airline’s second venture after the one at Delhi airport and is expected to be operational by March 2020. IndiGo Airlines is one of the largest operators at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) with 158 daily departures.
