The FL Technics Indonesia US$25 million facility will encompass a hangar with six bays that will accommodate narrow-body jets, along with purpose-built production shops and offices.
FL Technics Indonesia, a subsidiary of FL Technics, a prominent aircraft maintenance solutions group, has joined forces with PT Angkasa Pura Properti and PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) to commence the development of a state-of-the-art aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) hub at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali. This collaboration signifies a significant investment of US$25 million by FL Technics and reinforces the company’s commitment to expansion and strategic growth.
The ambitious project entails the construction of a modern MRO facility covering an area of 17,000 square meters. The infrastructure will encompass a hangar with six bays, specifically designed to accommodate narrow-body aircraft, along with purpose-built production shops and offices. The hangar’s design and capacity aim to address the growing travel demand within the region, particularly driven by increased aviation activity from Australia, as well as key markets across Asia and beyond.
Martynas Grigas, Director, FL Technics Indonesia said, “FL Technics is expanding across the globe, entering new continents, yet not losing the focus on key markets. We strengthen our positions by investing in infrastructure, business operations, people, and society itself. I am confident FL Technics’ experience, resources, and expertise will grant the success of the project in Bali – our partners will benefit from a global independent MRO network, the industry will gain access to our solutions approved by FAA, EASA, and CASA, while the region will be provided with more than 500 new jobs, as well as new travel, cargo, and trading opportunities.”
The collaboration is underpinned by a joint operations agreement (KSO) signed by FL Technics Indonesia, PT Angkasa Pura Properti, and PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero). This alliance emphasizes the long-term commitment of the partners to the region’s growth and development. The I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is strategically positioned as a growing aviation hub, making it an optimal location for such a significant MRO facility.
“This is a form of our support for the national aviation industry, especially with PT Angkasa Pura I. With traffic at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, which continues to increase after the pandemic, this MRO will help airlines increase efficiency and effectiveness in running their business. This is also facility one form of optimising the mainland that we continue to carry out,” said Ristiyanto Eko, Wibowo, Director, PT Angkasa Pura Properti.
This collaborative endeavor not only strengthens the aviation industry but also contributes to the economic advancement of the country and region. FL Technics Indonesia’s partnership with PT Angkasa Pura Properti and PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) demonstrates a cohesive effort to bolster the national aviation sector, maintain high safety standards, and enhance Indonesia’s allure as a vibrant tourist and business destination.
