SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - November 3, 2025 - StandardAero (NYSE: SARO), a leading independent pure-play provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services, including engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and engine component repair, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GMF, Indonesia's leading provider of MRO services. The MoU is initially focused on harnessing the capabilities of both companies to provide exceptional on-wing support services to operators in Indonesia and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, for engine platforms such as the CFM International CFM56-7B.
The CFM56-7B - which powers the Boeing 737NG family - remains in widespread use in the region, with approximately 270 engines in service in Indonesia and 4,250 across Asia-Pacific. StandardAero provides CFM56-7B MRO services to operators across the Asia-Pacific region from its engine overhaul facilities in Canada and the USA.
StandardAero is well-established as a reliable provider of engine MRO to the aerospace industry in Indonesia, where it supports over 40 different operators and service providers. StandardAero also has a local presence through its turboprop engine overhaul facility in Seletar, Singapore, which is located just across the Singapore Strait from Indonesia.
"StandardAero is delighted to team-up with GMF in order to offer an unsurpassed range of engine services to operators in Indonesia and beyond," said Mario Romano, Airline Sales Director - APAC for StandardAero. "Harnessing the capabilities of both companies will enable us to set new standards in terms of turn around times, delivered quality and cost-effectiveness, for both existing customers and new clients."
Commenting on the announcement, GMF's CEO, Andi Fahrurrozi, stated: "This collaboration with StandardAero reinforces GMF's position as a leading MRO provider in the region by expanding on-wing support services across Asia-Pacific. By combining StandardAero's reliable expertise with GMF's integrated capabilities, the partnership delivers more efficient and customer-focused solutions. Beyond today's collaboration, it also paves the way for GMF to strengthen its presence in engine maintenance and create lasting value for the aviation industry."
StandardAero has provided the global CFM56-7B operator community with a comprehensive range of MRO services - including engine exchanges - from its Winnipeg location since 2010. In addition to its existing Winnipeg capabilities, StandardAero now also provides CFM56-7B MRO support from its DFW International Airport location in Dallas, TX, USA, which is seeing strong demand from Boeing 737NG operators and asset owners. These newly introduced capabilities offer operators the confidence and convenience of a second CFM56-7B engine line, enabling StandardAero to accommodate the MRO requirements of its customers around the world while also providing the assurance of test cell capability redundancy.
The company provides an extensive range of additional services for the CFM56 family, including component repair and overhaul capabilities; engine, module and used serviceable material (USM) asset management support; and engine health monitoring (EHM) data analysis services.
