Korean Air begins constructing MRO maintenance facilities
Korean Air Lines is building Asia’s largest aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities on Yeongjong Island, Incheon. The airline announced on Thursday that a groundbreaking ceremony for the engine maintenance facility took place, which was attended by Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Won-tae, Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok, and Democratic Party Representative Maeng Sung-kyu, among others. “These advanced engine maintenance capabilities means we can ensure aircraft safety that goes beyond mere technological expertise,” Cho said, expressing his aspiration for Korean Air to take the lead in the nation’s MRO industry. The new facility, covering 142,211 square meters with two underground and five aboveground floors, will require an investment of 578b won and is slated for completion by 2027.<br/>
