GE Aerospace has unveiled a major multi-year investment plan of up to US$300 million to significantly expand and modernise its aircraft engine repair operations in Singapore. Backed by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the initiative is designed to transform the company’s local maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities, strengthening Singapore’s position as a key global aviation hub.
Running over five years from 2025 to 2029, the programme will focus on accelerating turnaround times for engine repairs while improving digital connectivity and delivering a smoother, more integrated service experience for airline customers. Central to the expansion will be the introduction of advanced automation, digitisation, and AI-enabled inspection technologies, enabling faster and more reliable repair workflows.
Mohamed Ali, President and CEO of Commercial Engines & Services at GE Aerospace, highlighted the long-standing partnership with the EDB and the strategic importance of the new commitment. He described the investment as a step towards breakthrough capabilities that will raise the standard of engine repair services and help keep customers flying with greater efficiency.
With predictive maintenance tools and automated digital inspections, repairs are expected to become more consistent in both time and cost, improving safety outcomes, durability, fuel efficiency, and overall operating expenses for airlines.
In addition, GE Aerospace and the EDB have signed a memorandum of understanding, signalling their intent to explore further development of advanced repair technologies and capabilities in Singapore.
