MRO provider FL Technics Indonesia has maintained its first Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, marking a key milestone following the company’s approval to service the type in May 2025.
The certification applies to its two main facilities at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) and Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali (DPS).
As airlines across Southeast Asia replace older, less efficient aircraft, demand for MRO capacity on newer models like the 737 MAX is increasing.
Boeing projects that the region will need about 4,000 single-aisle planes by 2044, with the MAX expected to account for the majority of new deliveries. Indonesia’s civil aviation fleet, which currently has about 480 aircraft with an average age of 15 years, will also need to be significantly renewed.
“Following recent authorization from civil aviation authorities, our local facilities are equipped to offer high-quality 737 MAX component maintenance and repair services,” said Martynas Grigas, CEO of FL Technics Indonesia.
“Backed by a global aviation group with long-term strategic objectives in the region, we combine advanced MRO technologies with the expertise of leading specialists. As airlines look to renew their fleets, we are ready to become their independent MRO partner of choice.”
As part of FL Technics Group and Avia Solutions Group, the world’s largest provider of ACMI services, FL Technics Indonesia employs more than 3,000 people worldwide in a network of line and base maintenance stations.
Last year, the company opened a new facility in Bali, which achieved CASA, FAA and DGCA certifications, and is now working towards EASA approval. There are also plans to expand the 27,500 m2 Jakarta hangar by another 88,000 m2.
In addition to the 737 MAX, FL Technics Indonesia supports Boeing Classic, Next Generation and Airbus A320 family aircraft, as well as engines such as CFM56, V2500, LEAP-1A/1B and PW1100G.
