Akasa Air to set up MRO facility
As per News18 reports, apart from launching passenger services, Akasa Air has also announced plans to set up a modern Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility within the airport premises. The proposed facility will support a wide range of aircraft maintenance activities and is expected to improve operational efficiency, safety standards and long-term technical support for the airline’s growing fleet.
Industry observers believe that the addition of an MRO hub could further strengthen the airport’s position as a future aviation and logistics centre in northern India.

How did Noida International Airport receive its operational approval
The development comes months after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) granted an aerodrome licence to Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), the company developing and operating the airport. The licence was issued in March under the ‘Public Use’ category, allowing all-weather operations at the airport.
Once operational, Noida International Airport is expected to become one of India’s major aviation gateways, serving both domestic and international travellers while improving connectivity across Uttar Pradesh and the wider NCR region.
