Indonesia orders five C-130J aircraft from Lockheed
MELBOURNE, Australia — Indonesia has quietly signed a contract with Lockheed Martin for C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft, multiple sources have told Defense News. Photos taken during the Indonesian Air Force chief’s visit to the aircraft’s production line suggests construction on the first aircraft is underway.
The government and industry sources told Defense News that Indonesia will acquire five C-130Js under a Direct Commercial Sales contract. They added that the contract was signed in late 2019, although neither party formally announced the order.
The sources spoke on condition of anonymity, as they were not authorized to reveal information related to the acquisition.
These claims were given further credence during Air Chief Marshal Fadjar Prasetyo’s ongoing visit to the Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Georgia, where he was photographed alongside a C-130 cockpit section that was still under construction but already bore the Indonesian flag.
Lockheed has included Indonesia on its list of C-130J operators, with a September 2021 version of the aircraft type’s fact sheet stating the country has the stretched C-130J-30 version on order.

A visit to Lockheed Martin’s plant in Marietta, Georgia, by Indonesia’s Air Force Chief of Staff, Air Chief Marshal Fadjar Prasetyo, on September 7 resulted in confirmation that the country's air force has ordered the C-130J Super Hercules, the latest version of the perennial transport. The number of aircraft now on order has not been formally revealed but is believed to be five.
As the aircraft were ordered as a direct commercial sale, the purchase had previously gone unpublicized. The Indonesian air force (TNI-AU) is understood to have selected the stretched C-130J-30 in 2018, and it is thought to have placed an order in the following year.
During the air chief’s visit to Marietta, he was photographed alongside a flight deck section of the first C-130J-30 for the TNI-AU, indicating that the initial aircraft could be handed over sometime next year, although no delivery schedule has been announced.
