TARMAC Aerosave has secured approval from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to provide maintenance services for Indian-registered Airbus A320-family aircraft across all engine variants.
The IND.FAMO.0000000129 approval covers aircraft powered by CFM56, IAE V2500, CFM LEAP-1A and Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines, enabling TARMAC Aerosave to support A320-family aircraft in the Indian fleet without engine-related restrictions.
Under the approval, the company’s headquarters in Tarbes, France, can carry out maintenance on Indian-registered aircraft and issue certificates of release to service recognised by the DGCA.
The scope encompasses base maintenance, end-of-lease transitions, aircraft storage and preservation, return-to-service work and engine services.
TARMAC Aerosave said the certification provides an important platform for expanding its activities in India, where rapid fleet growth is increasing demand for maintenance and aircraft lifecycle services.
The approval spans both current-generation LEAP-1A and PW1100G-powered aircraft and A320-family aircraft equipped with the earlier CFM56-5B and V2500 engines.
For operators and lessors, the broad scope is intended to simplify support for mixed fleets as well as aircraft transitioning between Indian and international operators.
Alexandre Brun, chief executive of TARMAC Aerosave, said: “This approval is far more than an additional line in our certification portfolio. It gives us access to the world's most dynamic aviation market, on the aircraft type that sits at the heart of what we do.
“Because it covers every engine variant of the A320 family, we can respond without restriction to the needs of Indian operators and lessors.”
Established in 2007, TARMAC Aerosave provides aircraft storage, maintenance, transition, dismantling and recycling services across three European sites. The company says it has handled more than 2,100 aircraft and returned more than 1,600 to service.
The news was announced during the Aviation Week MRO Asia-Pacific 2026 event in Singapore.
