Airbus Helicopters and Indonesia’s PTDI have entered an agreement to provide support for Indonesian government rotorcraft.

“PTDI is excited to embark on this new journey with Airbus Helicopters, which now enables us to offer a complete value chain in Indonesia, for the Indonesian Armed Forces,” said Budi Santoso, chief executive and president of PTDI.

“We are also happy to be part of a strengthened alliance, which would help develop Indonesia’s technical competency in helicopter maintenance.”

The pact follows a memorandum of understanding signed two years ago. It focuses on Airbus Helicopters rotorcraft.

“Over these two years, PTDI has implemented a robust re-organisation of their processes to consolidate all support and services activities under one single roof,” says Airbus Helicopters.

“The Indonesian industrial partner will also be recognised as Airbus Helicopters’ approved completion centre and services centre, upon successfully passing quality and safety audits.”

PTDI has workshare on 11 Airbus Helicopters types.
