PT Dirgantara future seems to be really bright if N 219/N245/ and KFX/IFX program are all success. I hope they can reach their capacity during 1990's in which at that time this factory has 16.000 workers working for them.
Sad story from our Aerospace Industry after hit by Financial crisis.. currently PT DI has 4.147 employers or 25% from glory era :D. main problem in employer management is generation gap since we dont have good planning after crisis. look, almost 35% employers is 50 years above. we need a lot of young engineer to replace old engineer and fulfilling PT DI production capacity..
