In a major boost to India’s helicopter MRO ecosystem, Airbus Helicopters has partnered with Indamer to service the country’s helicopter fleet. The companies inaugurated a joint Indamer-Airbus Helicopter MRO facility Dec. 8. at the Multi Modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur.
“This is going to boost the MRO ecosystem in India,” Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadanvis said during the inauguration speech, echoing the sentiments of the Indian government’s Make in India initiative. He added that a new aviation policy will be drafted for Maharashtra state, eyeing developments in India’s aviation market with a specific focus on MRO. “There will be a time when helicopter production will begin here,” said Fadanvis.
There are more than 125 Airbus helicopters currently operating in the India and South Asia region. Airbus says the strategic partnership will provide quicker turnaround for servicing and create an efficient aftermarket experience for helicopters in the region.
