Livewel to set up MRO at Dubai airport

Mumbai-based aviation services provider Livewel Aviation Services is setting up a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at the newly launched Dubai World Aviation City, which will have the largest MRO centre in the world.

Livewel, which specialises in aircraft cabin refurbishment and baggage handling, has signed an agreement with the Jebel Ali Airport at Dubai for setting up the MRO.

The MRO entails an investment of $80 million, and will be built on 24,000 sq. mt of land.

"The MRO will primarily focus on cabin interior refurbishment, aircraft painting, c-check and line maintenance," said M F Daver, chairman, Livewel Group.

The MRO will have hangars large enough to accommodate aircraft like the A380.
