Benefits of LPEI Support to PT DI for Indonesia

PT DI's success in fulfilling the orders of the State of Nepal can increase interest for other countries in aircraft products made in Indonesia.

Airplane exports to Nepal have strategic value for PT DI because overseas customer satisfaction is one of the main requirements in evaluating international tenders.
"The support provided by LPEI to PT DI is one form of strategy to demonstrate that aircraft products made in Indonesia are able to compete in the international market," said LPEI Senior Executive Vice President I Yadi J. Ruchandi.

As one of the Government's fiscal tools, LPEI in accordance with its mandate will continue to unlock potential markets so that Indonesian exporters can penetrate markets to non-traditional countries and increase the capability of exporters to compete in the global market.

In addition to increasing product competitiveness and encouraging national strategic industries to export to non-traditional countries, the financial support provided to PT DI also has socio-economic benefits for Indonesia.

The production project of one unit of CN235-220 Military Transport aircraft is capable of absorbing more than 4,000 workers and involving supporting industries, especially the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the country that are supplying the needs for the construction of the aircraft.
Other benefits include increasing export value and product competitiveness, especially aircraft products in the international market, so that in the future it is expected to become one of Indonesia's flag carriers for market penetration into the South Asian region, and to increase the value of Indonesia's bilateral trade.
