The MRO provider’s airframe facility has secured Part 145 certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the European Safety Agency and the US Federal Aviation Administration, allowing it to provide maintenance services to aircraft operators from the three regions.
At its Singapore home, ST Aerospace is setting up new repair and overhaul capabilities for the first batch of UTC Aerospace Systems’ electrical and air management system components installed on Boeing 787s. It has also begun using 3D printing for rapid prototyping and small scale production of parts.

Meanwhile, ST Aerospace has been awarded a contract extension by Chinese carrier Juneyao Airlines to train another 40 cadet pilots while its US subsidiary VT Aerospace has taken a 100% equity interest in Aviation Academy of America, to grow the pilot training business, it adds.
