Mahathir M. S. 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 PART 2 - GARUDA MAINTENANCE FACILITIES Garuda Maintencance Facilities is the biggest MRO in Indonesia. I was there for about 2 months monitoring 2 Mandala 737-400 undergoing C chk with my Boss and Mandala own Tech Rep. Camera is not allowed into the facilities thus most of the shots are hide and seek from the security personnel. Enuff talking these are the second part. Hope u guys enjoy. 1.Aircraft scattered outside of GMF hangar seen from above. 2.Mandala PK-RIT positioned outside the hangar for Photo Session. 3.Garuda preparing for EGR. 4.Garuda 3 Hollers 5.More Real Holes 6. 7.

Samsyuri 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Dun worry Sam now we're trying to send 732 back to SZB for C chk. Hope to see them doing the maintenance like b4. At the moment they sent their Jurassics to Merpati. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Good news.. Really hope Mandala coming back to SZB.. Why can't GMF do the maintenance for their Jurassics?? 1.Aircraft scattered outside of GMF hangar seen from above. 2.Mandala PK-RIT positioned outside the hangar for Photo Session. How many hangar at GMF? Looks like one hangar inside the pics. Looking at the number of aircraft parked on the tarmac, could be more than 2 hangar. I wonder when will this 734 come to SZB? 22. Oman Air B738 being push back after a photo session. This one came to SZB a couple of years back for winglet installation at MAS E&M. Nice pics and coverage.. more pls..

This one came to SZB a couple of years back for winglet installation at MAS E&M. Nice pics and coverage.. more pls.. Not that GMF can't do maintenance on Mandala Jurassics but MMF charges is very2 low compare to GMF. Total hangars in GMF are 3.The one in the photos is Hangar 3 where GMF do their 3rd party aircraft, I think Hangar 3 alone can accommodate up to 6 or 7 narrowbody aircraft at one time. Lambat lagi la SAM, this aircraft just finished its C6 chk and one more still in progress or maybe on their return to lessor chk it'ii be in SZB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahathir M. S. 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 PART 3 - MMF (MERPATI MAINTENANCE FACILITIES) MMF is located in Juanda International Airport, Surabaya.Only one hangar which can facilitate up to 4 narrow body aircraft at one time.Most of their 3rd party customer are from local airlines due to unavailability of MRO Foreign Approval. Even most of their mechanics are very experienced ,I'll would say their MRO is way to far from the international standards due to limited resources,facilities and work culture. 1. The one and only hangar 2. A total of more than 20 aircrafts grounded 3.Rotten B732 4.More of Merpati 5. Bali Air 6. Mandala PK-RII 7.Adam Air - I didn't bring my 24-70mm so no full aircraft view guys. 8. Interesting traffic seen from the facilities. MERPATI 9.SRIWIJAYA 10. Pelita Air 11. Batavia Air 12. www.imtrec.com Next and final part i'll post shots from around JUANDA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. Thanks for viewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
