MUSCAT — Oman Air and Indonesia’s GMF AeroAsia have launched a joint venture to establish Oman’s first dedicated aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul company, the companies said.

The venture, Oman GMF Technic, will provide base and line maintenance services to airlines operating in Oman and to regional and international customers.

It aims to attract aircraft maintenance business to the Sultanate, develop local technical capabilities and reduce reliance on service providers abroad, the companies said.

The launch ceremony took place at a new aircraft maintenance facility at Muscat International Airport, recently inaugurated by the Civil Aviation Authority.

It was held under the patronage of Transport, Communications and Information Technology Minister and Oman Air Chairman His Excellency Eng. Saeed bin Hamoud Al Maawali, and Finance Minister His Excellency Sultan bin Salim Al Habsi.
