Safran invests $28m to expand Singapore MRO facility

The new landing gear overhaul capabilities are expected to create nearly 100 jobs by 2030.

Safran Landing Systems has inaugurated a $28m (US$22m) expansion of its maintenance, repair and overhaul facility in Singapore, strengthening its capacity to serve aircraft fleets across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

The project, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board, adds a 7,500-square-metre extension to the existing facility.

The new space features an assembly line for landing gear overhauls, providing Safran with greater capacity and flexibility to meet demand from regional airlines.

The Singapore site offers end-to-end landing gear maintenance services, including disassembly, inspection, machining, surface treatment, assembly and final certification.

It supports aircraft including the Airbus A320 family, A330, A350 and A380, as well as the Boeing 737 and 787 and ATR regional aircraft.

The facility currently employs 360 people. Safran expects the expansion to create nearly 100 jobs by 2030, accompanied by continued training and talent development.

The investment will also support the introduction of advanced repair technologies and broaden the range of aerospace repair work conducted in Singapore.

The expanded building includes 800 solar panels covering 2,800 sq m, alongside energy-efficient lighting and cooling systems.

Safran expects the solar installation to generate renewable electricity equivalent to approximately 60% of the site’s consumption.

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.
