Hosur Aerodrome (IATA: VO95) is a private airfield located at Belagondapalli, 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 private use category. The aerodrome complex also houses MRO facilities of Air Works India[1] and widebody aircraft painting facilities of Air Livery.[2] 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.
