Hosur Aerodrome is an aerodrome located in the Belagondapalli suburb, 10 Kilometres southwest of Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India.
The airfield is owned by Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited (TAAL), established in 1994 as the first private sector company to manufacture General Aviation aircraft in India.[citation needed] TAAL uses the airfield for its Aircraft Manufacturing, Sales, and MRO businesses. This aerodrome is approved and licensed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation under the private use category.[1] The aerodrome complex also houses MRO facilities of Air Works India[2] and widebody aircraft painting facilities of Air Livery.[3] Many Indian carriers notably SpiceJet, GoAir and Vistara send their aircraft to Hosur for 'C' checks and inspections by Air Works Ltd., and for aircraft painting done by Air Livery. Recently, Air India Express sent their first Airbus A320neo (acquired from AirAsia India, post-merger) to Hosur for repainting into the new livery launched by the Tata Group. [citation needed]
