Air India’s Bengaluru MRO facility commissioning delayed amid incomplete construction
The delay comes amid expectations that losses will more than double in FY26, as well as setbacks to CEO Campbell Wilson’s aircraft retrofit programme. The modernisation effort, part of a $400 million fleet upgrade under the Tata Group’s five-year revival plan announced in 2022, is now expected to be completed only by 2029, nearly two years behind schedule, Mint reported earlier. Even so, the airline has begun seeing early progress. It received its first retrofitted Boeing 787-8 aircraft in April, marking the start of visible upgrades, and expects to induct another seven to eight such aircraft by the end of 2026.
