History

Before 2000

The company was established in 1984 as Garuda Maintenance Facilities Support Center. In seven years, funded entirely by the Indonesian government, it had spent US$200 million, of which 63% was used to import hi-tech machinery and equipment. In 1996, it became a SBU changing its name to Garuda Maintenance Facilities AeroAsia, or GMF AeroAsia in short.

After 2000

In August 2002, it split off from PT Garuda Indonesia. [ [http://www.gmf-aeroasia.co.id/index.php?
] ]

In 2003, Singapore Airlines acquired a 49% stake in GMF AeroAsia.

In January 2007, PT Garuda Indonesia announced it would sell a minority stake of GMF AeroAsia in April 2007. Other subsidiaries, PT Aerowisata, PT Abacus Distribution System and PT Gapura Angkasa would be sold completely as Garuda Indonesia does not consider them as "core business". [cite paper | title = Trade and Investment News | publisher = The Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of the Replublic of Indonesia | date = 2007-01-22 | url = www.kbrisingapura.com/docs/trade_investment_news/Trade___Inv_News_22_Jan_2007.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 2008-03-23 ] . GMF AeroAsia has recently concluded a restructuring as part of the company's strategic development visions embodied in ‘The Global Challenge’, a fifteen-year ‘voyage’ plan.
