The story

Founded by Garuda Indonesia in 1984.¹

History

GMF traces its origins to 1949 as Garuda Indonesia’s technical division. It became an independent MRO subsidiary in August 2002 under PT Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia Tbk. In the mid-2010s the company commissioned Hangar 4 at Soekarno–Hatta, one of the world’s largest dedicated narrow-body hangars, increasing base-maintenance capacity.

Entering the 2020s, GMF diversified and expanded partnerships. At Indo Defence 2024, GMF announced cooperation with Turkish Aerospace Indonesia, Boeing, PT Inspirasi Putera Mandiri, Autocraft for the E20+ eVTOL program, and Dassault Aviation, marking a deeper entry into defense and advanced aerospace solutions.

In April 2025, GMF, BIJB, and Bappenas inaugurated a strategic partnership to develop the Sustainable Aerospace Park Kertajati, with GMF as the anchor tenant under a joint-operation scheme, targeting an integrated national aerospace ecosystem.

At MRO Asia-Pacific 2025 in Singapore, GMF advanced collaborations with Honeywell for flat-rate repair programs covering APU and LRU components, and engaged cabin-interior partners and regional airlines.

In October 2025, GMF signed a strategic partnership with Pelita Air to utilize the Pondok Cabe hangar for maintenance activities that include ATR aircraft and Bell 412 helicopters, expanding rotary-wing coverage.

Recent Developments (2024-2025)

Capital Measures On October 28, 2024 GMF held an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) to accelerate a rights issue aimed at strengthening its capital structure. On October 24, 2025, the EGMS approved a strategic in-kind asset contribution from PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia, including 972,123 square meters of land at Soekarno–Hatta, which is expected to restore GMF’s equity position to positive.

Defense Projects GMF expanded its defense MRO portfolio through the fourth heavy check of the Indonesian Army’s Bell 412 helicopter in September 2025, with additional units scheduled. In 2026, its collaboration with Koharmatau further broadened GMF’s capabilities from C-130-focused maintenance to multi-platform defense MRO.

Partnership and Technology GMF strengthened its partnerships and technology initiatives through Honeywell flat-rate repair programs and collaborations with cabin and component partners at MRO Asia-Pacific 2025. The company also advanced cooperation frameworks announced at Indo Defence 2024 with Turkish Aerospace Indonesia, Boeing, IPM, Autocraft for the E20+ program, and Dassault Aviation.
