The milestone\ntook place on the sidelines of the opening of the Civil Aviation\nInvestment Forum in Muscat, Oman, earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Under the partnership, GMF will provide heavy maintenance and routine\ninspection services for the fleets of national, regional and\ninternational airlines. The aim is to position Muscat International\nAirport as an integrated hub for maintenance and regional aviation\nservices, leveraging Oman\u2019s strategic location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond the business dimension, this cooperation also paves the way\nfor the transfer of knowledge and advanced technology in airframe,\nengine and avionics maintenance,\u201d said a statement citing the official\naccount of the Oman Civil Aviation Authority, published on Tuesday (6\nOctober 2026).<\/p>\n<p>GMF\u2019s expansion into the Middle East further demonstrates the\npresence of state-owned enterprises under Danantara. As President\nPrabowo has stated, SOEs under Danantara are meant to be not merely\nfollowers, but major players on the global stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to see more Indonesian SOEs included in the Global Fortune\n500, proving that Indonesia is not merely a follower, but can also be a\npioneer and leader in the world economy,\u201d said President Prabowo at the\nlaunch of Danantara at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Monday (24\nFebruary 2025).<\/p>",
