PT Danantara Investment Management, SMBC Aviation Capital, and Mandiri Investment Management have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish the Mandiri Aviation Leasing Fund, Indonesia’s inaugural aviation leasing investment platform.
The fund will launch with an initial portfolio valued at approximately USD800 million. SMBC Aviation Capital will supply aviation and leasing services to support the platform’s operations.
Danantara Chief Investment Officer Pandu Sjahrir described the partnership as an important step for Indonesia’s involvement in the global aviation financing ecosystem. By becoming a key partner in this space, the initiative positions the country within international aviation finance networks.
This development aligns with Danantara’s broader efforts in aviation, including recent aircraft leasing business initiatives.
