SriLankan Airlines, the national carrier of Sri Lanka, has announced the signing of a long-term Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) agreement with IndiGo.
The agreement will secure multi-million dollar revenue for SriLankan over long duration of the agreement, SriLankan Airlines said in a statement without giving out details of the number of years that the contract will be valid.
The agreement, which has already come into effect from April 1, will see SriLankan Airlines’ Engineering Division carry out ‘C’ checks on IndiGo’s entire Airbus fleet.
SriLankan, which has been providing such MRO services to IndiGo since February 2009 on an annual contract basis, completed the 100th IndiGo ‘C’ check in January this year, the statement added.
SriLankan Airlines Head of Engineering Priyantha Rose said that the contract was awarded on a competitive basis.
