RTX expands Singapore aerospace capacity with over $139m investment

The new deals will back next-generation aircraft platforms.

RTX said it will invest more than $139m in Singapore under new memoranda of understanding (MoU) signed with the Singapore Economic Development Board, deepening long-term capacity in advanced aerospace manufacturing and maintenance, repair and overhaul, according to a press release.

The agreements, announced at the Singapore Air Show, build on a July 2025 pact and will see RTX businesses Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney expand and introduce new capabilities in Singapore to support next-generation commercial aircraft platforms and rising regional demand.

Collins Aerospace will add new MRO capabilities to reduce turnaround times for Asia-Pacific customers. The scope covers electrical power systems as well as environmental and airframe control systems, with the new capabilities expected to be fully operational by 2030.

The expansion includes support for Boeing’s 777X Integrated Drive Generators and additional flight-critical products for the 787 fleet. These include controllers for engine starters, cabin air compressors, auxiliary power units and new cooling system capabilities, RTX said.

Pratt & Whitney will enhance GTF engine MRO at its Seletar facility by adding a Fan Drive Gear System maintenance line that uses automation and artificial intelligence to improve throughput. The engine maker will also expand coating capabilities at its Tuas operations and increase the site footprint by 25% to support global production demand, according to the press release.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
