MAS GMR AERO TECHNIC LIMITED (MGAT), the 50-50 joint venture between Malaysian Aerospace Engineering Sdn Bhd (MAE) and GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), has now forayed into Aircraft Line Maintenance business by inaugurating its first office at the engineering building within RGIA. It has inked its first contract with British Airways to provide the Line Maintenance Technician support at RGIA for their new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The foray marks the beginning of the expansion plans of MGAT aimed at providing a comprehensive maintenance support to the airlines flying in and out of and within India. MGAT envisages expansion of this support to other airports within India. Currently MGAT has Line Maintenance approval from DGCA (India) for A320 and B737 aircraft types and from EASA for A320, B737 NG, Q400 and ATR 42/72.
With the best-in-class infrastructure and qualified manpower, MGAT is delivering high quality maintenance services in a cost effective manner for all major private carriers in India. Presently MGAT is performing redelivery checks on two B737 aircraft along with regular C-checks. It has an aircraft paint hangar and infrastructure that can paint a narrow body aircraft. The current MRO facility has hangar infrastructure to accommodate wide-body aircraft such as Airbus A330 and Boeing B777.
While inaugurating this Line Maintenance setup, Mr Uday Naidu – Chief Operating Officer of MGAT said, “We are pleased to launch this new initiative as part of our expansion plans. We are confident eventually we will be able to extend to other Line Stations at key airports in the country”. Mr Naidu further stated, “With Base Maintenance experience and backend support from our own MRO facility at Hyderabad, we will be able to provide value-added services to our Line Maintenance customers both domestic and international”.
Having successfully performed base maintenance checks and ancillary services for over 100 aircraft, and completed redelivery checks on two A320 aircraft within a short span of 30 months from the commencement of its operations, MGAT has emerged as the largest independent Airframe MRO (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul) facility in India.
