Embraer has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), an Indonesian aerospace company, to explore enhanced collaboration in commercial aviation.
The agreement was formalised during the Indonesia-Brazil CEO Forum, held alongside the G20 Summit in Brazil.
The event was chaired by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and attended by key Indonesian officials, including Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, Special Presidential Envoy Hashim Djojohadikusumo, and Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) Chairman Anindya Bakrie.
Under the MoU, Embraer and PTDI will conduct joint studies to assess potential partnerships in areas such as engineering and aerostructure supply. The collaboration will adhere to strict commercial and technical standards, ensuring alignment with global industry practices and objectives.
Both companies aim to leverage their respective strengths to create mutual value while maintaining a commitment to quality and innovation in aerospace manufacturing. This partnership underscores a shared vision for advancing the commercial aviation sector and supporting Indonesia’s growing aerospace ambitions.
“As Indonesia’s premier aerospace manufacturer, PTDI has strong ambitions for Indonesia,” said Gita Amperiawan, President Director of PT Dirgantara Indonesia.
“We look forward to developing this collaboration and tapping on Embraer’s 55 years of expertise and knowledge, which will boost our capabilities, particularly in the commercial aviation sector.”
“We are excited about this growing relationship between Embraer and Indonesia’s PTDI,” said Rodrigo Silva e Souza, Vice President of Marketing for Embraer Commercial Aviation.
“Indonesia is one of the fastest growing aviation markets globally and we see areas where both parties can harness the strength of its expertise, enhance Indonesia’s aerospace capabilities and expand its air connectivity.”
The Indonesian Air Force operates a fleet of A-29 Super Tucanos and there is a sizeable fleet of Embraer business jets operating in the country. PT Wira Jasa Angkasa (WJA) is Embraer Executive Jets’ appointed authorised service centre in Indonesia.
