State-run air-carrier Air India has been conferred the Best Airline MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) and Best Engine MRO in India awards by the Indian Aviation and Stat Trade Times.

"Clearly we are the leaders and have an unenviable record of servicing all types of aircraft, cargo and passenger, in the country," a company spokesperson said in a press release issued here today said.

A jury consisting of experts including the editorial board of Indian Aviation had selected Air India for the two awards, the release said.

The award was conferred on the company for excelling in the entire range of services that are provided by an MRO facility and for its significant contribution towards servicing and overseeing the critical maintenance of aircraft engines, the release said.
