It’s been three and a quarter year since the first day I set my foot in this industry — aviation. Well, not directly in aviation, but related to.

I’ve been working in one of the biggest maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) in Indonesia, Garuda Maintenace Facility AeroAsia, Tbk. GMF is one of susbsidiary of Garuda Indonesia Airlines that used to be one of Technic department in GA.

Our service is to maintenance airplane from A until D Check, both narrow and wide body. I’ve been signing in Logistic departement that related to aircraft engine/part shipment or handling. It’s challanging since this is a new knowledge for me who never had an experience with this kind of industry.

We have four hangar in our work area. Hangar 1 is for wide body maintenance, Hangar 2 is specifically for A and B check of Garuda Indonesia group maintenance, Hangar 3 is for Airbus manintenance, and Hangar 4 is for narrow body maintenance. It’s become one of the biggest narrow body hangar in the world.

We used to hold an olympic to celebrate our anniversary every year. It usually held around March until April. The highlight of the event is on April 26th, but this year is slightly different. We can’t hold an olympic, or celebrate our anniversary due to the pandemic. Our industry was even affected by it, and it’s been hard for us, and other of course.

I hope this too shall pass.

Barakallah my beloved office ❤
