The agreement covers maintenance of CFM56-7B engines that power Garuda’s Boeing 737 Next-Generation fleet, following a competitive tender process, the company said in a statement.

The contract comes as airlines focus on maintaining fleet reliability and efficiency amid growing demand for air travel, increasing the need for engine maintenance and overhaul services.
