SIA Engineering to launch Philippines operations by September 2025

The entry of SIAEP is expected to improve technical support for airlines operating at the airport.

SIA Engineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP), the local subsidiary of Singapore-based SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC), is set to begin operations at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) by September 2025.

The move marks an expansion of SIAEP’s presence in the Philippines, where it already operates a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Clark.

SIAEC, one of the largest MRO providers in the Asia-Pacific region and majority-owned by the Singapore Airlines Group, supports a wide network of global carriers.

According to New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) President and CEO Ramon S. Ang, the entry of SIAEP is expected to improve technical support for airlines operating at the airport and help reduce aircraft turnaround times.

He described the expansion as a positive development for both the aviation industry and the traveling public.

The new operation is also projected to contribute to skills development, job creation, and knowledge transfer within the Philippine aerospace sector. In addition, other international MRO firms have reportedly expressed interest in establishing operations at NAIA, potentially increasing service quality and efficiency through market competition.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
