GE Aerospace has inaugurated a new module repair facility at Seletar Aerospace Park, Singapore, as part of its US$300m investment to enhance maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities. This expansion, in collaboration with JTC Corporation and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), aims to support the growth of CFM LEAP-1A/1B High-Pressure Turbine module repairs, serving customers across Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
The new facility is expected to significantly improve GE Aerospace’s regional MRO capabilities, reducing turnaround times and enhancing connectivity. Tim McQueen, Executive Director of the Global Component Repair Network at GE Aerospace, stated, “This expansion at Seletar Aerospace Park underscores our commitment to building in-region MRO capabilities that help reduce turnaround time and enhance connectivity for our customers across APAC and the Middle East.”
Lim Ai Ting, Group Director for Advanced Manufacturing at JTC, highlighted the advantages of the ready-built infrastructure at Seletar Aerospace Park, which allows for faster start-up and scaling of capabilities. “With plug-and-play facilities, companies can move straight into execution and be market ready sooner,” she noted.
Zheng Jingxin, Vice President and Head of Mobility at EDB, emphasised Singapore’s role as a trusted hub for aerospace operations. He remarked, “This latest investment adds advanced capabilities to our ecosystem amidst growing demand for MRO services, and will strengthen Singapore’s relevance and position as a critical node in the regional aerospace supply chain.”
The new facility reinforces Singapore’s strategic importance within GE Aerospace’s global MRO network, ensuring more efficient support for the LEAP fleet and enhancing the region’s aerospace infrastructure.
