        "summary": "Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund Danantara is exploring the creation of its own aviation leasing company, viewing it as a more effective financing option amid projected air travel growth. The firm has already formed a partnership with SMBC Aviation Capital and Mandiri Investment Management to launch the country's first aviation leasing investment platform. Officials believe this strategy can strengthen airline balance sheets, particularly for Garuda Indonesia, while generating broader benefits for the financial services sector.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia\u2019s Investment Management Agency (BPI) Danantara is convinced\nthat the planned formation of an aviation leasing fund company will\ndeliver substantial benefits. Danantara Chief Operating Officer Dony\nOskaria explained in Jakarta on Wednesday that the establishment of an\naviation leasing company is still undergoing in-depth study. He noted\nthat, in line with Indonesia\u2019s projected aviation growth, owning a\nleasing company is considered a more effective option. He stressed that\nno final decision has been made on the creation of the leasing company,\nand all business aspects are still being evaluated to ensure the chosen\nscheme provides optimal benefits. \u201cWe are exploring the possibility of\nhaving our own leasing company. With the future development of Garuda\nIndonesia, it will be more effective for us to own it. This is being\nstudied, but everything must be done carefully, studied thoroughly. We\nare examining the best option, and that is what we will do,\u201d Dony\nstated. Dony added that if the leasing company is established, its\noperations will function like any standard leasing company. \u201cIf it\nbecomes a leasing company, it will certainly operate as a leasing\ncompany does, but it is still being studied,\u201d he said. \u201cLeasing is the\nfinancing side. So, the aircraft are purchased for Garuda, but the\nfinancing is handled by the leasing company,\u201d he elaborated. He assessed\nthat such a financing model could strengthen an airline\u2019s financial\ncondition, particularly for PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, while\ncreating broader benefits for the financial services sector. Previously,\nPT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), SMBC Aviation Capital, and\nMandiri Investment Management announced a partnership agreement to\ndevelop the Mandiri Aviation Leasing Fund, Indonesia\u2019s first aviation\nleasing investment platform with an initial portfolio value of\napproximately USD 800 million. Danantara Chief Investment Officer Pandu\nSjahrir described the partnership as a crucial step in Indonesia\u2019s\nparticipation in the global aviation financing ecosystem. SMBC Aviation\nCapital Chief Commercial Officer Barry Flannery expressed delight at\nforming this strategic partnership to help advance the aviation\necosystem both in Indonesia and internationally. Mandiri Investment\nManagement Chief Executive Officer Baskoro Adi noted the partnership\nreflects a commitment to developing innovative investment solutions that\nconnect global investors with high-quality aviation assets.<\/p>",
