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.
