Low-maintenance aircraft a bane for struggling SIA Engineering

Expect lower workshop visits in FY16.

Newer aircraft are a bane for struggling SIA Engineering, as these models require longer intervals between maintenance checks.

A report by DBS stated that SIAEC will remain stuck in the vicious cycle of declining workshop visits until the new aircraft & engine models are due for these checks.

This comes after SIA Engineering's net profit fell 36.5% year-on-year in the fourth quarter on back of lower airframe and component overhaul (ACS) revenue.

“In our view, rebound is unlikely to happen within FY16. Hence, to help mitigate decline from its ACS
segment, SIAEC is looking to increase its revenue from FMP and LM segments through its wide network of LM stations in 34 airports,” DBS stated.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
