Mr. B.P. Baliga, Vice President Support Services at Jet Airways (India) Ltd., will chair the two-day conference which takes place on April 7 and 8 at the Leela Kempinski Hotel at Mumbai Airport. The program will address developments in the Indian MRO industry with an in-depth look at issues and trends facing airlines and suppliers in the region.
