PTDI-Koharmatau Strengthen Cooperation on TNI AU Aircraft Maintenance
Kota Bandung – PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) once again strengthens its cooperation in the aerospace sector. This time, the state-owned company's partnership is with the Air Force Materiel Maintenance Command (Koharmatau).
The signing of the PTDI-Koharmatau cooperation was carried out by PTDI President Director Gita Amperiawan together with Koharmatau Commander Air Vice Marshal (Marsekal Muda TNI) Rudolf P. Buulolo, at Koharmatau, on Thursday (17/9/2026).
Under the agreement signed, both parties agreed to cooperate in carrying out maintenance of aircraft and helicopters belonging to the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU).
This partnership is seen as capable of combining the strengths of both parties, namely PTDI's industrial capabilities with the resources owned by TNI AU.
"This cooperation is important to ensure that the fleet's capabilities are maintained and meet TNI AU's Optimum Essential Force requirements," said Gita Amperiawan.
For PTDI, Gita said, this cooperation represents the company's commitment to supporting the maintenance efforts for TNI AU's alutsista (main defense system equipment).
Explaining the technical aspects of aircraft and helicopter maintenance under this cooperation, Koharmatau will provide personnel, equipment, facilities, and Ground Support Equipment (GSE).
Meanwhile, PTDI will also provide personnel to support the work, offering technical support to keep TNI AU's aircraft always in operationally ready condition.
According to Koharmatau Commander Air Vice Marshal Rudolf P. Buulolo, this partnership built together with PTDI is significant, going beyond simply jointly maintaining TNI AU's aircraft or helicopters.
"This cooperation is significant, not only in supporting the implementation of maintenance, but also in enhancing human resource competence, strengthening the transfer of knowledge and experience, and building maintenance capabilities that are increasingly independent and sustainable," said Rudolf. ***(BS)
