Low-maintenance aircraft a bane for struggling SIA Engineering

Expect lower workshop visits in FY16.

Newer aircraft are a bane for struggling SIA Engineering, as these models require longer intervals between maintenance checks.

A report by DBS stated that SIAEC will remain stuck in the vicious cycle of declining workshop visits until the new aircraft & engine models are due for these checks.

This comes after SIA Engineering's net profit fell 36.5% year-on-year in the fourth quarter on back of lower airframe and component overhaul (ACS) revenue.

“In our view, rebound is unlikely to happen within FY16. Hence, to help mitigate decline from its ACS
segment, SIAEC is looking to increase its revenue from FMP and LM segments through its wide network of LM stations in 34 airports,” DBS stated.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
