GMF AeroAsia is an Indonesian company that specialises in aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO).The company serves the Asia-Pacific region and employs about 2,500 people, and is based in Jakarta, Indonesia, it has many offices around the world. It services airplanes of many types and is one of the largest and leading aircraft maintenance facilities in Asia.
The company was established in 1984 as Garuda Maintenance Facilities Support Center. In seven years, funded entirely by the Indonesian government, it had spent US$200 million, of which 63% was used to import hi-tech machinery and equipment. In 1996, it became a SBU changing its name to Garuda Maintenance Facilities AeroAsia, or GMF AeroAsia in short.
In August 2002, it split off from PT Garuda Indonesia.
In January 2007, PT Garuda Indonesia announced it would sell a minority stake of GMF AeroAsia in April 2007. Other subsidiaries, PT Aerowisata, PT Abacus Distribution System and PT Gapura Angkasa would be sold completely as Garuda Indonesia does not consider them as "core business". GMF AeroAsia has recently concluded a restructuring as part of the company's strategic development visions embodied in ‘The Global Challenge’, a fifteen-year ‘voyage’ plan.
Currently, it is certified in many countries and serves many airlines. It has three partners; KLM Engineering & Maintenance, Swiss Air and Global Aviation USA In September 2008, KLM attempted to buy shares in GMF, but were turned down. The intention is to release the shares publicly and KLM were told they were free to buy shares at that point. In 2009, GMF AeroAsia's biggest clients are parent Garuda followed by Lion Air, but as 2015, GMF AeroAsia's biggest clients are its parent company Garuda Indonesia with its low-cost arm Citilink followed by Sriwijaya Air. Lion Air itself as previous second biggest client of GMF already sets up their own MRO in Batam and now only uses GMF when unable to bring their aircraft to Batam.
All of its facilities are at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. They comprise 480,000 m2 of built-up structures, including three hangars, a spares warehouse, workshops, utility buildings, ground support equipment building, chemical stores, engine test cell and management offices. In addition, GMF AeroAsia has an apron capable of handling up to 50 aircraft, taxiways, a run-up bay and a waste treatment area taking up a 1,150,000 m2 area.
