Syahroni Ahmad, Director of Access to Industrial Resources and International Promotion, said on Friday that the ministry is pursuing ways to boost the country's MRO industry.
Such licenses from foreign providers will allow more aircraft in the country to get MRO services domestically.
"We urge them to provide MRO licenses, such as through the Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU CEPA)," he explained.
Trade Minister Zulkifli Hasan has announced that negotiations on the IEU-CEPA will be completed before October 20, when the new government under President-elect Prabowo Subianto takes office.
The negotiations aim to open trade between Indonesia and the EU. Both sides have so far agreed on 11 of 21 issues, including customs and trade facilitation, trade remedies, dispute settlement, institutional and final provisions (IFP), and transparency.
