HAECO, a leading global aircraft engineering and maintenance provider, is pleased to announce the signing of its first direct GE90 engine contract with an airline operator in the Asia Pacific – Garuda Indonesia Airlines. The 3-year agreement covers overhaul and repair services for Garuda’s GE90 engine fleet, marking a significant milestone that solidifies HAECO’s unique position within GE’s MRO partnership network.

This groundbreaking contract builds on HAECO’s exclusive 15-year Material Service Agreement (MSA) with GE Aerospace, signed in 2024. The MSA — the first of its kind between GE and an MRO partner — grants HAECO priority access to GE’s material resources, enabling it to deliver unique benefits and value to airline customers like Garuda Indonesia.

Sandra Nieuwenhuijzen, Group Director of Components & Engine Services at HAECO, remarked, "The signing of this GE90 Time & Material contract with Garuda Indonesia marks a significant milestone for our team. It reinforces HAECO’s position as a trusted provider of engine services and highlights its ability to meet the evolving needs of airline customers in a competitive global market."

Mukhtaris, Director of Maintenance at Garuda Indonesia, stated, “Garuda Indonesia places importance on this collaboration with HAECO, which represents a significant step in accelerating our engine maintenance and operational excellence. As the national flag carrier, we are committed not only to ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability but also to delivering a seamless and comfortable travel experience that reflects Indonesian hospitality.”

He added, “This partnership with HAECO, renowned for its expertise in a wide range of aircraft engine maintenance including the GE90 engine, will further enhance the efficiency and resilience of our fleet operations. It also demonstrates Garuda Indonesia’s dedication to ensure that we remain competitive in the global aviation industry while consistently providing our passengers with world-class service.”

Celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, HAECO is a nose-to-tail MRO services provider which has established a leadership position for both GE and Rolls-Royce engines, supported by a global network and strong OEM partnerships, including with GE Aerospace. With its license as an authorized GE90 Service Provider, a GE90 Center of Excellence, and sole holder of the GE90 GBSA in Asia extended to 2040 and exclusive MSA, HAECO’s new contract with Garuda Indonesia further reinforces its leadership in the GE90 overhaul market.
