SIA Engineering braces for turbulent 2H16 as competition heats up

It has lost its sole Centre of Excellence status.

It’s getting more crowded in the aerospace engineering business, and it’s not exactly good news for SIA Engineering.

According to a report by UOB Kay Hian, the increased pressure in the market is likely to result in the company’s 2HFY16 and FY17 earnings.

UOB Kay Hian says one indication that competition is heating up is SIAEC lost its status as the sole Centre of Excellence in Asia Pacific for the maintenance of Trent engines.

“In addition, we expect SIAEC’s airframe maintenance revenue to decline further due to additional capacity from third-party maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers in the Philippines and Indonesia,” UOB Kay Hian said.

Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian added that other risks for SIA Engineering include lower-than-expected staff costs and higher-than-expected quantum of work from SIA.

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.
