BANDUNG, July 10 — Selangor is exploring collaboration opportunities with West Java to support the development of an aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) ecosystem, leveraging the state’s expertise while creating new business opportunities for local industry players.
Invest Selangor Bhd’s chief executive officer Dato’ Hasan Azhari Idris said the initiative was among the highlights of a series of site visits held during the inaugural Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS@ASEAN) 2026 at the Pullman Grand Central.
The delegation visited a newly developed airport in West Java, where plans are underway to establish an MRO ecosystem.
He added that Selangor has extensive experience in developing airport ecosystems, including MRO facilities, which could be leveraged to support West Java’s aviation ambitions.
"We brought companies such as IVP (Impeccable Vintage Properties Sdn Bhd), SkyPark, Sapura Aero, and several others because they are planning to develop an MRO ecosystem at the airport (in Indonesia).
“So we have the expertise in developing or developing the airport ecosystem including the MRO,” he told Media Selangor following today’s site visit to the aerospace industry in the province.
Hasan noted that the immediate objective is to identify smaller, practical projects that could pave the way for longer-term collaboration between businesses from both sides.
“While it is too early to tell the success of the projects, at least they are now aware of the project–the opportunities and the potential,” he said.
Earlier today, Malaysian delegates attended a site visit to Kertajati Aerospace Park and Indonesia’s aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia.
Among industry players involved were representatives from Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Berhad, IPV, Skypark Aviation Group, Sapura Aero Sdn Bhd, Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporation) or MBI, and Airvion Technics Sdn Bhd.
Selangor is currently home to nearly 70 per cent of Malaysia’s aerospace companies, supported by the presence of two major aviation gateways: the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The state government aims to raise that share to more than 70 per cent before 2030.
