The achievement underscores both the resilience of Indonesia’s aviation maintenance industry and GMFI’s strategic transformation amid global market turbulence.

Total assets surged to Rp13.6 trillion (US$813 million), a 91.5 percent leap, while equity swung from a negative Rp4.33 trillion to a positive Rp1.92 trillion.
The company attributed this recovery to a Rp5.6 trillion land injection that bolstered fixed assets and restored balance sheet strength.
Operational Transformation
The company’s management emphasized that profitability was not solely driven by corporate restructuring.
GMFI implemented operational improvements, including faster turnaround times, infrastructure upgrades, and international certifications.
These measures enhanced productivity and positioned GMFI as a competitive player in the regional maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market.
Expanding Client Base
Beyond servicing group affiliates such as Garuda Indonesia and Citilink, GMFI expanded its international portfolio.
Korean Air, Vietjet Air, and Cebu Pacific remained key clients, while new contracts were secured with One Air, Air Swift, and Texel Air.
This diversification reflects GMFI’s ambition to reduce reliance on domestic carriers and strengthen its global footprint.
Strategic Projects
GMFI reactivated 13 Citilink Airbus A320s and two Garuda Indonesia Airbus A330s, supporting fleet recovery in the post-pandemic era.
In the defense sector, the company maintained Bell 412 helicopters and VIP Boeing 737-800 aircraft, while partnering with Dassault Aviation on offset programs for Rafale fighter jets.
Non commercial segments including defense industry services, industrial solutions, and power services generated US$36.7 million, a 59.9 percent increase.
The company has set ambitious targets: revenue of US$542.8 million and net profit of US$35.1 million.
Early indicators are promising, with first-quarter 2026 results showing net profit of US$6.76 million and revenue of US$114.94 million.
GMFI plans to continue its corporate transformation, strengthen operations, and expand into profitable business lines.
GMFI’s recovery highlights the broader revival of Indonesia’s aviation industry. By diversifying into defense and industrial services, the company is building resilience against volatility in commercial aviation.
For investors, the return to positive equity and robust asset growth signals renewed confidence in GMFI’s long-term viability.
