PTDI and PT ANI Forge Strategic Partnership to Strengthen National MRO Ecosystem

North Jakarta (July 10) - Opening the agenda on the second day of the IISAR 2026 exhibition, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI) signed a Cooperation Agreement with PT Aero Nusantara Indonesia (PT ANI), laying the initial groundwork for collaboration in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul services, as well as the shared use of supporting aircraft facilities and related activities. The agreement was signed by PTDI's Director of Commerce and Development, Moh. Arif Faisal, and PT ANI's President Director, Otto Sigit Budianto.

The agreement gives PTDI and PT ANI a foundation to explore various synergies in the MRO field, including the use of hangars legally owned and/or controlled by either party, human resources, work equipment, tools, hangar equipment, and logistics facilities, all to be carried out based on operational needs, capabilities, further agreement between the parties, and applicable laws and regulations. Through this collaboration, both companies are committed to strengthening the capacity and competitiveness of the national MRO industry, supporting the independence of the national aviation industry and boosting the competitiveness of Indonesia's MRO services at the regional level.

Strengthening the MRO ecosystem depends heavily on facility readiness, industry capability, and a certified workforce that meets international airworthiness standards. Collaboration among national industry players is therefore an important step in supporting the development of increasingly competitive and sustainable MRO services.

"PTDI believes that strengthening the national MRO industry can only be achieved through complementary collaboration among domestic industry players. Our partnership with PT Aero Nusantara Indonesia lays the foundation for optimizing the use of facilities, human resource competencies, and technical capabilities held by both companies. We hope this synergy will not only improve the capacity and quality of national MRO services, but also strengthen the independence of Indonesia's aerospace industry and open up greater opportunities for national MRO services to compete in the regional market," said PTDI's Director of Commerce and Development, Moh. Arif Faisal.

Through its Aircraft Services (ACS) unit, PTDI plays a key role in providing MRO services for various types of aircraft and helicopters, for both military and civilian needs. Backed by internationally standardized facilities, experienced technical personnel, and capabilities spanning maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification, and aircraft upgrades, PTDI's ACS continues to strengthen its position as one of the pillars of the national MRO industry.

In line with this capability development, PTDI has formed a strategic partnership with PT ANI to build synergies that support the strengthening of national MRO services. This collaboration is expected to optimize the use of resources and capabilities held by both companies, improving the efficiency and capacity of national MRO services while strengthening the domestic aviation industry ecosystem. Through this partnership, both companies are committed to supporting the realization of a self-reliant national aviation industry and improving the competitiveness of Indonesia's MRO services at the regional level.

"This partnership is a positive step for PT ANI to strengthen synergy within the national MRO ecosystem. Through this partnership, PT ANI supports the strengthening of the capacity and competitiveness of Indonesia's MRO services in line with our capabilities, certifications, and approvals, always prioritizing safety, quality, and compliance," said Otto Sigit Budianto, President Director of PT ANI.

Going forward, both companies will follow up on this agreement by discussing various jointly agreed programs and initiatives, in line with business development needs and the strengthening of the national MRO ecosystem. This collaboration is expected to be a strategic step toward realizing a national MRO ecosystem that is increasingly integrated, competitive, and sustainable.
