ST Aerospace seals landing gear MRO contract with SAS

Singapore Technologies Aerospace (ST Aerospace) has sealed an eight-year contract worth approximately US$25m (approximately S$35m) with one of Scandinavia’s largest airlines, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Under this agreement, ST Aerospace will provide a comprehensive range of landing gear repair, overhaul and exchange services for SAS’ fleet of Boeing 737-600/700/800 and Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. This contract extends an existing agreement covering landing gears maintenance for SAS’ fleet of Boeing 737NG aircraft, which ST Aerospace has been supporting since 2005. This extended agreement reinforces the long-standing partnership between ST Aerospace and SAS, which started a decade ago when ST Aerospace first provided landing gear repair and overhaul services to the SAS’ fleet of MD-80 aircraft which was later replaced by Boeing 737NG. Over the years, ST Aerospace also provided engine maintenance support for SAS’ CFM56 family of engines, and component support for SAS’ fleet of Boeing 737CG, 737NG, MD-80, Airbus A320, A330, A340 and Bombardier Q400.
