Noida International Airport (NIA) and Akasa Air, have announced a strategic partnership to establish Akasa Air’s first Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the upcoming Noida International Airport.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening India’s aviation infrastructure and positioning NIA as one of the country’s leading MRO hubs. Under the agreement, Akasa Air will operate a state-of-the-art MRO facility within the airport premises, offering advanced MRO services at Noida International Airport, supporting a broad spectrum of aircraft maintenance activities and ensuring high standards of operational efficiency and safety.
The MRO facility will enhance operational efficiency, generate local employment opportunities and foster skill development in the region. This partnership marks a major step in shaping an integrated aviation ecosystem that supports long-term industry growth and contributes to the regional economy.
“Akasa Air’s decision to establish its first MRO facility in India at Noida International Airport is a strong endorsement of our vision to build a world-class aviation hub for India,” said Christoph Schnellmann, CEO, Noida International Airport. “This partnership will not only enhance India’s MRO capabilities but also create opportunities for skill development and employment in the region.”
Commenting on the partnership, Vinay Dube, founder and CEO, Akasa Air, said, “Our partnership with Noida International Airport reflects how we think about building Akasa for the long term. As India’s aviation market continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, developing strong domestic MRO capabilities will be critical for airlines to operate efficiently and reliably at scale. For Akasa, investing early in this capability is part of a disciplined approach to growth, strengthening our operational backbone while contributing to the development of a more self-reliant aviation ecosystem in India.”
India’s Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) industry is experiencing rapid growth, projected to reach approximately $4 billion by 2031, driven by a booming commercial aircraft fleet that is expected to triple to 2,250 by 2035. Supported by government initiatives like tax reforms and 100 per cent FDI, the sector is shifting from a nascent stage to becoming a global, cost-effective MRO hub for both civil and defence aircraft, attracting major investments.
