Here's how ST Engineering successfully dodges headwinds

Thinking ahead of the curve.

According to Nomura, the group engages in five-year strategic planning, which allows it to think ahead of the curve. For instance, the group has developed new capabilities such as interior refurbishment which will allow it to generate more work during the A & B check phases of the aircraft.

This is in reaction to the shift towards a younger aircraft fleet, which would require more A & B checks rather than the heavy C & D checks.

Here's more from Nomura:

Again, in response to a younger fleet, additional maintenance capacity will be placed closer to airports to allow for shorter turnaround time, which the airlines demand during the lighter A & B checks.

Newer maintenance capacity will also be larger to accommodate new plane types (eg, A380).

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.
