Boeing and Indonesia have worked in partnership for 77 years to support the development of aerospace and defense capabilities in the country. Today, Boeing’s presence in Indonesia covers commercial aviation, defense, commercial satellites, supply chain, academia partnerships and talent development efforts across the local industry. Boeing’s relationship with the Republic of Indonesia dates to 1949 when Garuda Indonesia, the country’s national carrier, began operations flying special transports with a Douglas DC-3.
Boeing’s commercial airplanes serve as a backbone for the country’s airlines. Alongside two Commercial Airplanes field services offices in Jakarta, and an office at Semarag, Boeing inaugurated its new corporate office in Jakarta in May 2023. Boeing’s investments in Indonesia have helped grow the local aerospace sector, creating jobs and driving innovation.
