The aerodrome complex also houses MRO facilities of Air Works India and widebody aircraft painting facilities of Air Livery. Many Indian carriers notably SpiceJet, GoAir and Jet Airways send their aircraft to Hosur for 'C' checks and 1200 hours inspections by Air Works Ltd., and for painting done by Air Livery.
