Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a GMR Infrastructure Ltd-led consortium, through its FBO-MRO Concessionaires, has built two new state-of-the-art MRO hangars at Indira Gandhi International Airport’s GA Terminal.
With 2,000 square meters of floor area each, they can house 6 to 8 mid-size general aviation aircraft as of April 2022. These hangars are fully operational for both commercial and general aviation aircraft. More significantly, the new hangars will minimize environmental pollution to a great piece, which will help both the operators and the public.

“We have developed dedicated MRO hangars with world-class facilities near the GA terminal, which also are the first in the country. This facility not only benefits the aircraft operators but also helps Delhi International Airport Limited in achieving its environmental sustainability goals,” he said.
