SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) has officially opened Base Maintenance Malaysia (BMM) on May 22, its wholly owned base maintenance facility at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang.
BMM forms part of SIAEC’s regional base maintenance network, adding capacity to support its existing hangar operations in Singapore and the Philippines. The facility will provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for both wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, including current and next-generation fleets operating across Asia-Pacific and beyond.
The two-hangar facility can accommodate up to six aircraft undergoing concurrent checks, strengthening SIAEC’s operational resilience while offering customers greater flexibility in meeting their MRO requirements.
The launch of BMM also underscores SIAEC’s confidence in Malaysia as a key aerospace hub. Malaysia offers a strong aviation heritage, strategic geographic position, established infrastructure, and an expanding pool of skilled aerospace talent. Subang, in particular, continues to play an important role in the country’s aviation and aerospace ecosystem.
BMM secured the necessary regulatory approvals for the first of its two hangars and completed its first Airbus A350 aircraft check in November 2025. The successful completion of aircraft checks for Singapore Airlines marked significant milestones in demonstrating the facility’s operational readiness and technical capabilities.
