Interglobe Aviation Ltd.

Interglobe Aviation (IndiGo) has commenced construction work on its new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Bengaluru. To be built on 31 acres of land, the MRO with a capacity of up to 12 bays and the capability to handle both narrow and wide-body aircraft will be fully functional by 2028. 

IndiGo had signed a memorandum of understanding with Bangalore International Airport (BIAL) for the allocation of land in May. This facility will also create over a thousand jobs across engineers, technicians and several more, further contributing towards nation building.

The company currently has its MRO facilities in Delhi and Nagpur, and the latest facility will be three times bigger compared to the combined capacity of these MROs. With more than 400 aircraft in its fleet, dedicated MRO facilities will give a significant advantage to IndiGo in terms of aircraft availability, greater cost efficiencies and quicker turnaround, benefiting the airline and its customers. The development of such a facility will also help strengthen the aerospace and defence ecosystem in Karnataka.

Interglobe Aviation provides air transportation services in India and internationally. The company primarily operates IndiGo passenger airline.
