The Sulur Air Force Station attained a new feat by completing the servicing of the 100th Dornier Aircraft on Friday. It started from scratch in the year 2000 for the servicing of Dornier, the base repair depot has graduated to a higher order in servicing, said a defence press release.
It further added that this deadline was achieved by the depot with reduced timelines for the servicing allowing greater fleet availability for the Indian Air Force (IAF) to meet its operational commitments.
An event was organised to celebrate the achievement which was presided over by Air Vice Marshal CR Mohan in the presence of distinguished personalities from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and other aircraft-operating units with veterans who were a part of the first aircraft servicing, the release said.
Key and aircraft logbooks were given to the Operating Crew by Air Commodore PK Sreekumar, Air Officer Commanding of the Base Repair Depot and his servicing team from Sulur depot.
