SIA Engineering's line maintenance service to grow 8%

It will be the only segment to register a steady growth.

SIA Engineering's hopes for recovery may likely come only in the line maintenance service segment.

According to a report by CIMB, the segment will be able to see steady growth of 8% per annum in the next three years as more work shifts from hangar to apron, in addition to the growth in flights into Changi Airport.

"However, this comes at the expense of lower margins, as was seen in 2H17 when operating margin fell to 15% from more than 20% historically," CIMB analyst Lim Siew Khee said.

Also, she explained that there could be a downside risk to airframe and component MRO revenue and operating losses if there are further postponements in heavy checks among airlines.

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.
