Aviation Week -- A new joint venture plans to open a facility for Airbus and Boeing narrowbody aircraft MRO in India, although its opening date is not yet defined. Partners TIMCO Aviation Services and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. say they will wait until they see enough demand for a sustainable business in heavy aircraft MRO. “Both partners have agreed to take a pause on the start up until the market and economic outlook clarifies,” said Gene House, TIMCO’s executive VP and chief marketing officer. Waiting for India’s fairly new fleet of commercial aircraft to age is a big factor.
