SIAEC buys 30% stake in Fujian MRO JV in $23.8m deal

The valuation places Arport AME assets at $7.46m.

SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC) has agreed to acquire a 30% stake in Arport Aircraft Maintenance & Engineering (Fujian) (AME) and form a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) joint venture in Fujian, China.

SIAEC Global Private Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary, secured the stake on 10 March 2026 for about $23.87m (RMB129m), according to a press release.

The transaction values Arport AME’s net tangible assets at around $7.46m (RMB40.3m) as of 31 December 2024.

Following the investment, the pro‑forma enlarged net tangible assets will total approximately $31.30m (RMB169.3m), with $9.40m (RMB50.8m) attributable to SIAEC’s 30% share.

The agreements follow SIAEC’s earlier non‑binding announcements on 4 September 2023 and 12 November 2024 exploring MRO opportunities in Fujian.

The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions precedent. SIAEC said the transaction is not expected to materially affect net tangible assets per share or earnings per share for the financial year ending 31 March 2026.

None of SIAEC’s directors or controlling shareholders has any interest in the transaction beyond existing shareholdings, the press release said.

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.
