ST Engineering opens new aircraft MRO facility in Singapore
ST Engineering has officially opened a new commercial airframe maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at Changi Creek within Singapore’s Changi Airport. This marks the company’s fourth MRO site in Singapore.
The 84,000 square meter facility includes four widebody aircraft bays. Once fully operational, it is expected to increase ST Engineering’s widebody MRO capacity in Singapore by 40 percent, potentially allowing for 100 additional widebody aircraft to be serviced annually. The project is expected to create more than 500 jobs upon reaching full capacity.
Designed to meet rising global demand, the facility integrates advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, and drones. These tools are intended to improve inspection precision, workflow efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. Kevin Chow, president of commercial aerospace at ST Engineering, noted that the company is experiencing demand growth significantly higher than the projected 1 to 2 percent global market increase.
