Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) has released that its Aerospace sector has signed an agreement with a contract value of about US$600 million (approximately S$813 million) to provide aircraft heavy maintenance services to a major North American operator. ST Engineering will support the operator, an existing customer, on a fleet of over 160 widebody and narrowbody aircraft starting in 2020 for a period of 10 years.
Under the long-term strategic alliance, ST Engineering is able to offer a fleet reliability programme that monitors the health of each aircraft and recommend maintenance actions to address identified issues before they impact the airline’s operational reliability. Continuous improvement initiatives over the duration of the programme will also help drive greater efficiency and shorter turnaround times during maintenance.
