ST Engineering has expanded its engine MRO operations in Singapore with the opening of a new facility that will service CFM International’s CFM56 and Leap family engines.
The new facility is situated within ST Engineering’s aerospace compound at Paya Lebar airport in Singapore, and when fully operational will double the company’s engine MRO capacity by 2027 to about 300 engines annually.
“Concurrent with capacity expansion, ST Engineering is broadening its services to include performance restoration and full overhaul shop visits for both Leap-1A and Leap-1B engines to better meet growing demands,” the company adds.
ST Engineering also has an engine shop in the Chinese city of Xiamen, which can handle around 100 engines annually. Its customers in the Asia-Pacific include Korean Air, Lion Air Group and India’s Akasa Air.
The Singapore-headquartered firm was in 2023 designated a “Premium MRO provider” by CFM for its Leap engine open MRO ecosystem. It is the first in Asia to be designated so, and joins other worldwide MRO providers like Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance and Lufthansa Technik.
Jeffrey Lam, president of ST Engineering’s commercial aerospace business, states: “As airlines expand and renew their fleets, and with more new-generation Leap engines entering into service, our new capacity and technology-enabled workforce will position us well to support airline and operator customers worldwide.”
