Sapura Resources in MRO venture

PETALING JAYA: Sapura Resources Bhd ’s wholly-owned subsidiary Sapura Aero Sdn Bhd has entered into a memorandum of understanding with MRO Sdn Bhd to establish a joint venture (JV) to provide aircraft and other aviation-related services.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Sapura Resources said the services include aircraft management, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), ground handling and aircraft parking and hangarage.

“The formation of a JV company will result in the creation of an organisation that can evolve to be a key regional player offering a full suite of services for private jets,” it said.

The JV company would be better positioned to compete with the other big players in the market, it added.
