Global aerospace giant Boeing has tied with AI Engineering Services Limited (AIESL) to provide the overhauling services of critical components for the Navy’s fleet of Boeing P-8I aircraft in India itself.

The Navy has 12 of these planes, which have ability to do long-range surveillance and hunt down enemy submarines. The fleet is integral to the Navy’s maritime surveillance missions. Boeing had partnered with AIESL and the first overhaul of the landing gear of a P-8I aircraft was recently completed at Navy base INS Rajali, Tamil Nadu. “This reflects the growth in India’s indigenous capabilities for undertaking complex Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services,” a statement by Boeing said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
