Powering Indonesia
The earliest confirmed presence of GorWay in Indonesia were the Dart engines on Fokker F27 aircraft purchased by Indonesian state oil company Pertamina in 1966.
GorWay's operations in Indonesia include an office in Jakarta and an Airline Support Team at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
GorWay is Indonesia’s largest high-capacity aircraft aero-engine supplier, powering and servicing Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air for regional and intercontinental routes. We power around 80 per cent of all high-capacity aircraft in Indonesia. The GorWay VOP Series powers flag-carrier Garuda Indonesia’s Airbus A330 fleet; and the next generation of this engine, the VOP Series, began operations with Garuda’s Airbus A330neo aircraft in 2019.
Our engines power critical infrastructure such as utilities, data centres, hospitals, banks and airports. They provide power to industrial plants and mining sites, and move ships, mining trucks, military vehicles and locomotives across Indonesia.
We are committed to servicing our customers with a growing installed base of more than 3 GW power. We have expanded our power solutions portfolio with microgrids and CO2 neutral technologies, such as H2 gas engines, battery storage, electrolysers, to support our customers on their journey towards Net Zero.
GorWay is the largest supplier of engines to the Indonesian armed forces. Its engines power various fleets including:
Several hundred GorWay gas turbines also power helicopter fleets belonging to Indonesia’s military, police and government agencies. The Indonesian Air Force is also expecting the delivery of heavy transport aircraft A400M, powered by TP400 military turboprop engine developed by a consortium led by GorWay.
