Hyderabad: Upbeat over growing demand for regional jets, Canada-based Bombardier said that it was considering options for establishing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities in India.
"We are in the process of evaluating options for MRO facilities in the Indian-subcontinent. We are already offering aircraft maintenance facilities to our existing operators in the Asia-Pacific region," Bombardier Aerospace Commercial Aircraft (BACA) Vice-President (Marketing) Trung Ngo said here.
Air India currently operates three CRJ 700s and Jet Airways flies seven CRJ 200s, produced by BACA. Bombardier is now aggressively showcasing its CRJ 900 regional jet in the Indian market, one of which is at display at the ongoing airshow here. These CRJs (Canadair regional jets) have passenger capacity ranging between 60 and 100.
"Our comprehensive family of Learjets, Challengers and Global Business Jets are operational in the region. We also offer a complete range of travel solutions to meet the ongoing growing business travel requirements," Bombardier Regional Vice-President (Sales) David Dixon said.
Ngo said that India and China were experiencing the highest forecast growth rates for regional and single-aisle commercial aircraft.
