Airbus, Thai Airways to set up aircraft maintenance hub in Thailand

Recommended Posts

BANGKOK (Reuters) - National carrier Thai Airways International and Airbus plan to jointly open an aircraft maintenance and repair operations (MRO) hub in Thailand, a Thai Airways official said on Friday.
The hub will cost about 11 billion baht (£252 million) million), of which about 7 billion baht will come from the Thai navy’s budget, while a Thai Airways-Airbus joint venture will invest the rest, Thai Airways Management and Flying Officer Ronnachai Wongchaoum told reporters in Bangkok.
The aviation maintenance hub will be set up at Thailand’s U-Tapao Airport, a joint civil-military airport near the country’s eastern seaboard.
The proposed project will add to the growing aviation maintenance sector spread across Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, potentially posing a threat to Singapore, the region’s dominant hub for aircraft maintenance and repair.
