Aerotranscargo FZE (ATC FZE), Garuda Maintenance facility Aero Asia (GMF), and AIR ONE Technics (AOT) jointly announced a strategic partnership through an MoU signed in Dubai, outlining new Boeing 747 freighter maintenance cooperation for 2026/2027.

The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration between the three parties, combining GMF’s global MRO capabilities, ATC FZE’s worldwide wide-body freighter operations, and AIR ONE Technics’ technical expertise based at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub.

The cooperation will support the continued airworthiness and operational reliability of ATC FZE’s Boeing 747 fleet, while strengthening technical collaboration across Indonesia, the Middle East and Europe.

The MoU was signed by Guneet Mirchandani, Chairman of ATC FZE, Andi Fahrurrozi, Chief Executive Officer of GMF, and Ayrat Gilmutdinov, Chief Executive Officer of AOT.
