Maintenance

Singapore Technologies Aerospace (ST Aero) has opened a new hangar at Singapore’s secondary Seletar Airport.

ST Aero officially opened the new hangar today and it is capable of handling two narrowbody aircraft at one time.

The maintenance, repair and overhaul group now has eight widebody and 13 narrowbody bays in Singapore, at the city state’s Changi, Paya Lebar and Seletar airports.

Construction on the new two-bay, 4,860m2 hangar formally began in April last year. It cost around S$17 million ($12 million).

ST Aero recently started carrying out Boeing 757-200 passenger-to-freighter conversion work at Seletar. Until then conversions were only being carried out at its ST Mobile Aerospace Engineering unit in the USA as well as at its ST Aviation Services subsidiary in Singapore.
