Indamer MJets opened an FBO at New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (VIDP) on August 8, becoming the second aircraft services provider there. The $20 million facility is a joint venture between Indamer Aviation and MJets Thailand, combining regional expertise with international service standards. Besides FBO services, it also offers line maintenance, AOG support, and scheduled checks for Bombardier, Embraer, and Leonardo/Agusta business aircraft.
The complex features two 32,000-sq-ft hangars and a dedicated general aviation terminal with luxury lounges, business center, and integrated customs and immigration facilities. Indamer Aviation director and CEO Rajeev Gupta told AIN, “The six rooms at our FBO are designed to ensure client confidentiality—unlike the open lounge-style seating common at many Indian FBOs. This was a deliberate choice, as India’s corporate clientele values privacy.”
He added that with 35 to 40 aircraft movements a day, the staggered flight schedules make room capacity sufficient. The facility also includes separate rooms for crew, protocol, police, and customs.
Indamer MJets is part of a wider network that includes Indamer Technics, which is 50% owned by Adani Defence & Aerospace. Adani also operates a 30-acre MRO hub in Nagpur in central India with 10 hangars and 15 aircraft bays.
Meanwhile, VIDP operator GMR Airports acquired a 50% stake of the Bird Delhi General Aviation Services FBO at the airport in January. Bird Delhi, a joint venture with Swiss ExecuJet, became India’s first dedicated FBO in 2016. For GMR, the $1.8 million acquisition consolidates its control over airport adjacencies and enhances its service portfolio in high-margin aviation segments.
Two upcoming greenfield airports—Noida International Airport (VIND) in Delhi and Navi Mumbai (VANM)—have not yet announced FBO plans. However, Bird Group, which manages ground handling at VIDP, recently signed a concession agreement with VIND to provide ground-handling services.
