Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) released that its aerospace arm, Singapore Technologies Aerospace (ST Aerospace) has secured new orders worth about $600m in the third quarter of 2013. The new orders involve projects ranging from airframe, component and engine maintenance, to commercial airline cabin retrofit and freighter conversions. Included in the 3Q2013 contracts is an order of 17 passenger-to-freighter (PTF) conversions received from an international air freight carrier, bringing to 119 the total number of aircraft contracted for the Boeing 757-200 PTF conversion programme.
