GMR Aero Technic to Service India's P-8I Fleet

GMR Aero Technic has entered into an agreement with Boeing Defence India to provide essential heavy maintenance services for the P-8I maritime patrol aircraft fleet. These Phase-56 maintenance checks will be performed at GMR's specialized MRO facility situated within the GMR Aerospace Park in Hyderabad. The scope of work encompasses structural upgrades, thorough inspections, painting, and system enhancements, all adhering to stringent defense aviation standards.

This collaboration signifies a notable advancement for GMR Aero Technic and further solidifies its established relationship with Boeing, following previous successful projects. The partnership underscores Boeing's dedication to fostering India's capabilities in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul.

The P-8I aircraft are critical assets for the Indian Navy, conducting vital anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. Currently, the Indian Navy operates a fleet of 12 P-8I aircraft, strategically deployed from naval air stations in Tamil Nadu and Goa to secure India's maritime interests.
