Hyderabad: MAS GMR Aero Technic Ltd, a unit in GMR's Aviation SEZ at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport here, has sought Commerce Ministry's permission to carry out repair works on 14 aircraft once operated by Kingfisher Airlines and make them in flying condition.
The aircraft (7 ATRs and 7 Air Bus 320) were grounded in various airports of Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru and Kolkata due to operational problems and subsequent financial crisis faced by the airlines.
The Board of Approvals, set to meet on January 17, will take a decision on the issue even as the development commissioner of Visakhapatnam, SEZ has strongly recommended for consideration, according to the BoA agenda.
"These aircraft are not in flying condition. DGCA has deregistered these aircraft and allowed the lessor to take over them. The lessors Awas and Investee, the real owners of the aircraft, approached them for aircraft recovery. They (MAS GMR Aero Technic), therefore need to send their engineers along with required tools and spares for repair and make the aircraft in flying condition," the BoA agenda said. Awas is a Dublin-headquartered global leader in commercial aircraft leasing.
