SR Technics and Garuda Maintenance sign service agreement for component repairs in Indonesia

December 3, 2013 – Zurich, Switzerland: SR Technics, part of the Mubadala Aerospace MRO network, and Garuda Maintenance Facility AeroAsia (GMF) have signed a five-year service agreement for component repairs in Jakarta, Indonesia. Under this agreement, GMF will act as SR Technics’ regional support workshop for approximately 150 part numbers, and will develop its existing in-house repair capabilities accordingly.

SR Technics and Garuda Indonesia have been working together for almost 30 years. This closer cooperation will contribute towards significantly reducing turnaround times of component repairs, and will build on existing agreements to provide Integrated Component Services (ICS) for the airline’s Airbus A330 and Boeing 737NG fleets.

A worldwide network of regional Centers of Excellence leverages SR Technics’ global presence for ICS, providing tailor-made and flexible solutions to its airline customers, wherever they are based around the globe. Thanks to this expanded cooperation with GMF, SR Technics will be able to provide closer in-country support in Indonesia.

James Stewart, Group CEO of the Mubadala Aerospace MRO network, commented: "This agreement is important for us to expand our regional presence in South-East Asia for component overhauls, and we are very pleased to deepen our relationship with the Garuda Group in Indonesia. We will work closely with GMF to support them in creating attractive customer solutions for any local or regional airlines looking for reliable and high quality component support.”

Richard Budihadianto, President Director & CEO of GMF AeroAsia said that the collaboration with SR Technics in component repairs is an important achievement towards GMF gaining the trust of the global aviation industry. SR Technics is a world-class MRO company that already has a strong reputation in the international market for aircraft maintenance. “It is certainly an honor and also a challenge for GMF to implement this partnership,” said Mr Budihadianto.
