Air India built a brand-new engineering center with space for a million plane parts.

Air India to take legal action and impose fine on unruly passengers, to charge Rs 5 lakh for 1 hour delay

As a large number of aircraft have been ordered by Air India this year, the future plans for airline operations are marked. Air India is currently bringing a new engineering setup for the advancement. Airlines will benefit from significant time savings when ordering airplane parts as a result of this.

Near the Delhi IGI airport, Air India has established a first-of-its-kind Engineering Mega Warehouse. This centralized 54,000-square-foot facility, which serves as a one-stop shop for all engineering needs, is essential to supporting our expanding fleet and boosting our operational reliability. It has the capacity to store over one million spare parts.

Air India runs a mixed fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft that include narrow and wide-body models. Aircraft may need necessary parts for a speedy repair even though it has its own engineering crew for maintenance. That requirement will be satisfied by this warehouse.

Emirates is one of the airlines in the world that operates similarly to a warehouse in that the majority of its aircraft are repaired on-site, saving both money and time for the aircraft.

In addition, Air India is advancing towards the new landmarks in India that will serve as its aircraft manufacturing hub.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
