Tangerang, November 26th, 2025 - PT Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia Tbk (GMF), through its Defense Industry SBU, has marked another significant milestone by completing the maintenance of two government-owned VIP aircraft: A-001 Boeing 737-800 BBJ2, owned by the Ministry of State Secretariat of the Republic of Indonesia and operated by the Indonesian Air Force’s 17th Air Squadron at Halim Perdanakusuma as the presidential aircraft, and P-7301 Boeing 737-800 operated by the Indonesian National Police. Both aircraft were officially handed over on Wednesday (19/11) at Hangar 4 GMF, Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.
