PM to lay foundation stone of new Air India maintenance base

New Delhi: The foundation stone of Air-India's new aircraft maintenance base will be laid by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh near the Thiruvananthapuram airport on Wednesday, coinciding with the golden jubilee celebrations of Kerala's formation.
The new maintenance base would be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 50 crore and the project will be completed in 18 months after all the required clearances are granted, an Air India spokesman said.
The proposed base would be built employing the latest technology and used primarily to maintain and repair boeing 737-800s being operated by AI subsidiary, Air-India Express.
The base would also be used for the maintenance and checks of other aircraft in Air-India's fleet like Boeing 747-400s and Airbus A-310
