Garuda Indonesia Group launches Oman GMF Technic as part of its global MRO business expansion, targeting the Middle East and North Africa markets

Garuda Indonesia Group continues to strengthen its international business expansion through the launch of Oman GMF Technic, a joint venture between PT Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia Tbk (GMF) and Oman Air, which took place at Muscat International Airport, Sultanate of Oman, on Tuesday (November 10). The establishment of Oman GMF Technic marks a strategic move by the Group to expand its aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services into the Middle East and North African markets, supported by a 20-year license to operate and manage the facility.

The establishment of Oman GMF Technic is based on a concession agreement previously signed by GMF and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of the Sultanate of Oman on October 5, 2026. This expansion is also part of the Garuda Indonesia Group’s efforts to accelerate its transformation through the diversification of revenue growth sources, the optimisation of subsidiary capabilities, and the strengthening of the competitiveness of its non-aviation businesses in the international market.

The launch of Oman GMF Technic was attended by a number of high-ranking officials from the Government of the Sultanate of Oman, including Minister of Finance Sultan bin Salim bin Said Al Habsi, Minister of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology Said bin Hamoud Al Maawali, and Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion Anwar bin Hilal bin Hamdoun Al-Jabri. Also in attendance were Commissioner of Garuda Indonesia Chairal Tanjung and President Director & CEO of Garuda Indonesia Thomas Oentoro.
