While India connects Türkiye, Air India looks further than Turkish technology to maintain wide aircraft on the body

Air India is scheduled to hesitate to depend on Turkish technology to maintain wide aircraft for the body, as CEO Campbell Wilson confirms a shift in modern geopolitical tension plans that involve Turkey. The airline, which was sending Boeing 777s and 787s to Istanbul -based MRO, will convert these operations into alternative global facilities.

When asked about the current arrangement of the airline with Turkish technology, Wilson confirmed that airline maintenance is included in a global framework. “It takes some time to adapt when the circumstances around us change, but it is clear that we are sensitive to national feelings and perhaps national desires,” he told PTI. “Therefore, regardless of the country we are talking about, we clearly get to know what people do like us and expect us to do.”

Turkish technology is currently the heavy maintenance of some wide -body aircraft in Air India. In the short term, Wilson said that the airline will still need to send aircraft abroad to the tasks of MRO (maintenance, reform and reform), citing facilities in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the United States, including Turkish technology in limited cases. He added: “It will take some time until India has the ability to do such works.”

“With this last development, we will search for re -calibration as we sent our planes, and we take the amount that we send to Turkiye and send it to other places,” Wilson told PTI.

Air India runs a fleet of 191 aircraft, including 64 broad body aircraft.

Tensions have been left with Turkiye since May, after the country condemned India’s strikes in terrorist camps in Pakistan. On May 15, the Civil Aviation Security Office in India (BCAS) canceled the security clearance of the Turkish company Celebi Airport Services India PVT LTD, citing national security services. Soon after May 30, the DGCA airline was awarded another three -month extension to the Nile for its wet rental of two Boeing 777 from Turkish Airlines, which imposes the end of the lease contract by August 31.
