The Republic of Singapore Air Force has given local maintenance, repair and overhaul firm ST Aerospace two new contracts.
ST Aero confirms that it has been awarded two six-year contracts from the air force, with a combined value of S$363 million ($258 million). However, it declines to provide further details or to say which aircraft types are covered by the new arrangements.
The government-linked company already supports a broad spectrum of the air force's fleet.

Textron Aviation Defense and partner Leonardo believe their offer of the latter’s M-346 Master and integrated training system will offer the US Navy a proven, low-risk solution as the service gears up to replace its aged fleet of Boeing T-45 Goshawk jet trainers.
