India, Nov. 11 -- Oman has taken a major step towards building its own aircraft maintenance industry, with national carrier Oman Air and Indonesia's GMF AeroAsia launching the country's first dedicated maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) venture at Muscat International Airport.

The new company, Oman GMF Technic, was inaugurated on November 10, 2026, at a facility recently opened by Oman's Civil Aviation Authority. The venture aims to attract airlines from across the region while reducing the country's dependence on overseas aircraft maintenance providers.
