The deal, won through a competitive RFP, supports Garuda’s Boeing 737 Next-Generation fleet. The first engine is already in transit to GATES’s Helsinki flagship facility for a comprehensive performance restoration.
“We are honored that Garuda Indonesia has entrusted GATES with their most critical engine assets,” said Gunnar Sigurfinnsson, President of GATES. He emphasized that the Helsinki facility is uniquely positioned to deliver the technical precision and rapid turnaround times essential for Garuda’s operational excellence.
Avinash Singh, Vice President of Sales – APAC and MEA, stated that winning the RFP highlights the strength of GATES’s value proposition in the region. “Seeing the first Garuda engine on its way to our Helsinki shop is a proud moment, and it marks the beginning of what we expect to be a long and prosperous partnership.”
Pak Mukhtaris, Director of Maintenance at Garuda Indonesia, expressed confidence in the partnership, noting that GA Telesis’s reputation for quality and flexible, high-standard MRO services aligns with Garuda’s commitment to safety and operational excellence.
