PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) and the Air Force Materiel Maintenance Command (Koharmatau) are strengthening collaboration to support the sustainability of aircraft and helicopter maintenance belonging to the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU).

This collaboration is realized through the signing of a Cooperation Agreement (PKS) regarding Resource Utilization and the Utilization of Aircraft/Helicopter Maintenance Facilities.

This PKS was signed by PTDI President Director Gita Amperiawan and Koharmatau Commander Air Vice Marshal Rudolf P. Buulolo in the Basir Surya Meeting Room, Koharmatau.

This cooperation serves as a strategic step in integrating PTDI's industrial capabilities with the resources and facilities owned by the TNI AU to strengthen support for the maintenance of the TNI AU air fleet.

On this occasion, both parties also signed a Side Letter agreement document as a follow-up to the aircraft/helicopter maintenance cooperation and the cooperation for the procurement of spare parts and maintenance of the TNI AU's CN235 aircraft.

In this regard, Koharmatau will provide support in the form of the provision of personnel, equipment, facilities, and Ground Support Equipment (GSE).

Meanwhile, PTDI will provide the personnel required to support the execution of the work, including technical and maintenance support to maintain the operational readiness of the TNI AU's aircraft.

This collaboration reflects PTDI's commitment as a defense industry to provide sustainable support for aircraft that have been produced and whose utilization is optimized for the user (end-user), in this case, the TNI AU.

According to PTDI President Director Gita Amperiawan, this cooperation is important to ensure that fleet capabilities remain maintained and meet the Optimum Essential Force of the TNI AU.

“For us, this cooperation is also a form of commitment to continue supporting the maintenance needs of the TNI AU's defense equipment, through the technical capabilities of human resources and facilities owned by each party, it is hoped that maintenance activities can be carried out in a more coordinated manner according to needs,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Koharmatau Commander Air Vice Marshal Rudolf P. Buulolo stated that this cooperation has significant meaning, not only in supporting the implementation of maintenance.

However, he added, it is also in improving human resource competence, strengthening the transfer of knowledge and experience, and building an increasingly independent and sustainable maintenance capability.
