Indonesian aviation entities are expanding their maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities through several international partnerships. 

Initially, PT Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia Tbk (GMF) entered a long-term partnership with FTAI Aviation Ltd. to develop capacity for aircraft engine and Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) maintenance, specifically targeting CFM56 engines and GTCP131-9 series APUs. This collaboration was intended to expand GMF’s reach within the Asia-Pacific region and globally.

Following this, PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) secured a three-year agreement with Honeywell Aerospace to provide repair and maintenance services for various APU models to improve fleet reliability and cost predictability. Additionally, GMF AeroAsia signed a 20-year concession to operate and manage maintenance facilities at Muscat International Airport in Oman, aiming to support heavy maintenance and technical knowledge transfer in the region.
