SINGAPORE AIRLINES
OPERATING REVIEW
The company’s
extensive
capabilities at
its Singapore
base were further
enhanced during
the year with the
completion of a
state-of-the art
paint hangar.
SIA Engineering Company
SIA Engineering Company’s (SIAEC) firstmover advantage
in aircraft technology and its collaborations with leading
original equipment manufacturers (OEM) have enabled the
company to establish a world-class one-stop engineering
centre in Singapore, offering full maintenance solutions with
OEM support and proprietary IP. The company’s extensive
capabilities at its Singapore base were further enhanced
during the year with the completion of a state-of-the art
paint hangar. Airline customers will benefit from the
efficient turnaround of high-quality aircraft paintwork when
undergoing maintenance in its hangars.
Leveraging on its wide bench of technical expertise and
extensive capabilities in the latest generation aircraft, SIAEC
secured a $166 million contract from Cebu Pacific Air,
covering both its present and new fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft
to be delivered over the next five years. Under the agreement,
SIAEC will provide fleet management and maintenance, repair
and overhaul services in Singapore and at SIAEC’s facility in
the Philippines. This further consolidates SIAEC’s status as one
of the world’s largest fleet management service providers.
The company continued to make inroads into the lucrative
and growing VVIP aircraft market segment with the
completion of two major VVIP cabin reconfiguration projects
in Singapore. With a team of in-house specialists, SIAEC
serves as the main contractor and programme integrator,
working with OEMs, joint ventures and suppliers to
seamlessly engineer, plan, procure, fabricate, install and
certify customised aircraft cabins.
Growth of the heavy maintenance business overseas is
propelled further with the completion of a second hangar at
its Clark facility in the Philippines, and construction of a third
hangar underway. At Hanoi, Vietnam, SIAEC opened another
maintenance facility, bringing its global line maintenance
network to 29 airports in seven countries.
