Noida International Airport Ltd (NIAL) is likely to invite this week’s expression of interest (EoI) for the development of Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities at the upcoming airport in Jewar near Delhi. It is stated that EoI will be open till October this year and NIAL is expecting a response for MRO not only from commercial airlines and private operators but also aircraft manufacturers. The EoI for developing MRO facilities at Noida International Airport will be floated soon. The time for response on EoI will remain open till October this year and based on the inputs, we will decide the future course of action that is whether to form a joint venture or opt for any other method for the development of MRO facilities. The aim is to position Uttar Pradesh as a leading MRO hub in the country, one of the key government officials involved with the airport’s development since its beginning. The UP Government has decided to build the airport as a major hub not only for airline operations and cargo transfers but also as a hub for MRO, noting the lack of a major facility elsewhere in the country. Rising consumer demand, increasing fleet size, favourable policy interventions and labour arbitrage are some of the key factors that can potentially fuel growth and development of MRO services in India
