GE Aerospace to inject $300m for Singapore engine repair expansion

The five-year investment adds AI-driven MRO capacity.

GE Aerospace plans to invest up to $300m over five years to expand its aircraft engine repair and maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities in Singapore, reinforcing the city-state’s role as a regional aerospace services hub, according to a press release.

The investment, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board, will run from 2025 to 2029 and aims to transform engine repair operations by improving turnaround times, connectivity and service delivery for customers, the company said.

GE Aerospace will deploy advanced automation, digitisation and AI-enabled inspection technologies, including the establishment of an AI Centre of Excellence in Singapore to support predictive maintenance, automated digital inspection and on-wing support services.

Operational upgrades will include a new module repair capability for CFM LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B high-pressure turbines, an expanded engine component repair portfolio to strengthen Asia-Pacific support, and new facilities for REACH-compliant coatings and anti-corrosion coating repairs, according to the company.

GE Aerospace said its global MRO network supports more than 49,000 commercial aircraft engines, including around 3,800 engines operating in Asia-Pacific, and the Singapore expansion would underpin long-term regional demand as the group deepens its partnership with the EDB.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
