Acron Aviation opens new avionics MRO facility in Bangalore

Acron Aviation today announced the launch of its new Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) center in Bangalore, India, reinforcing its commitment to provide world-class aviation support across the Asia-Pacific region.

Strategically located in Bangalore, the new facility offers regional operators faster turnaround times and localized support, reducing dependence on overseas repair channels. The center launches with repair and test capability for the SRVIVR25, a critical onboard safety system, and will expand over the next three years to include recorders, TCAS, and advanced display systems.

The company is currently in the process of securing DGCA CAR 145 approval, with plans to pursue FAA, EASA, and CAAC certifications. These approvals will enable the Bangalore site to serve both regional and global customers with the same level of compliance and quality that Acron Aviation's repair stations and licensed centers are known for.

Ronald Nye, VP and GM Aftermarket, Acron Aviation said: "Our Bangalore facility is fully integrated with Acron Aviation's global repair network, ensuring consistent standards, processes, and IP protection across every location." Nye continued, "This investment is a direct response to our customers' need for lower logistics costs, faster repair cycles, and enhanced local support."

Looking ahead, Acron Aviation envisions the Bangalore site becoming a regional hub for engineering, customer success, and field support. By aligning technical expertise with a customer-first approach, the facility is set to play a key role in strengthening airline and operator reliability throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
