SIA Engineering to form airframe maintenance JV with Airbus

It’s the first of its kind for SIAEC.

SIA Engineering is about to land a big fish collaboration as it plans to form a joint venture (JV) with aircraft giant Airbus, entailing SIAEC to provide airframe maintenance, cabin upgrade and modification services for Airbus A380, A350 and A330 aircraft to airlines in Asia-Pacific and beyond.

According to a press release by SIA Engineering, the joint venture marks the first collaboration with a major aircraft manufacturer for airframe maintenance.

Under the agreement, the release said SIAEC will hold a 65% stake in the JV, with Airbus holding the remaining 35%.

“The joint venture combines SIAEC’s extensive maintenance experience with Airbus’ technical expertise as an airframe original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Airbus will develop the joint venture as its Centre of Excellence for Airbus A380 and A350 Heavy Maintenance in Asia, which will strengthen SIAEC’s extensive airframe service offerings in Singapore and the Philippines,” the press release said.

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.
