ST Aerospace gets green light for aircraft repair facility in China

ST Engineering’s aerospace arm has received the business licence from the Administration of Industry and Commerce of the Guangzhou Municipality to establish its aircraft repair facility in the region.

This follows an announcement made on 20 July 2010 that ST Aerospace had concluded joint venture discussions to set up a commercial aircraft heavy maintenance facility in Guangzhou.

ST Aerospace (Guangzhou) Aviation Services Company Limited is a joint venture (JV) between Guangdong Airport Management Corporation (51%) and ST Aerospace (49%), the aerospace arm of ST Engineering. It has already received endorsement from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and approval from the Ministry of Commerce respectively.

ST Aerospace (Guangzhou) Aviation Services Company Limited will have a total paid up capital of US$99m.

The JV company will be an associated company of ST Aerospace and will be operated and managed as a part of ST Aerospace's global network of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities. Expected to begin operations in the second half of 2013, it will perform commercial aircraft MRO for Airbus, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft.

The investment is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.

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.
