History

Subject was founded in 1951 by Mr. B. G. Menon and Mr. P. S. Menon, both considered to be not only seasoned technocrats in aviation but also recognised as two of the pioneers who contributed to the development of Indian Civil Aviation.  Starting with the maintenance and overhaul work on a few DC-3s in the early 1950s, their firm, Subject, has gone on to work on an impressive number and variety of aircraft.

Indeed in a field totally dominated by public sector undertakings such as the two major nationalised airlines and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Subject, a totally private company with a fiercely independent outlook, has managed to successfully carve out a niche for itself in India.  The fact that subject has continued for over 40 years by dint of its own engineering abilities speaks highly of two Men (ons) at the helm of the company’s affairs.  Subject has the privilege of maintaining and operating aircraft of not only government agencies like National Airports Authority, National Remote Sensing Agency, Geological Survey of India and several State Governments but also those of leading private sector groups like ESSAR, Reliance, Hindustan Aluminium etc.  The aircraft are also varied - from piston-engined aircraft to modern day turbofans, from single engined aircraft to multiple engined aircraft and Rotor Winged Aircraft.  Nature of work has also varied from routine basic maintenance to major overhauls including Check C’s of four engined commercial airlines - no mean feat at all for a company whose strength lies in the ability to continuously innovate.

Today subject looks after nearly 40 aircraft, as varied as they can.  It has the ability and the resources to maintain and operate aircraft of wide variety in size and complexity.  The number of customers and the variety of aircraft to be serviced by Air Works India, signifies the confidence which government and private operators have in this small private sector company.  It is also to this company’s credit that it has refused to take on additional work feeling it will not be able to do justice to all the customers, old and new, in a service-oriented activity such as aircraft operation and maintenance.
