SIA Engineering braces for turbulent 2H16 as competition heats up

It has lost its sole Centre of Excellence status.

It’s getting more crowded in the aerospace engineering business, and it’s not exactly good news for SIA Engineering.

According to a report by UOB Kay Hian, the increased pressure in the market is likely to result in the company’s 2HFY16 and FY17 earnings.

UOB Kay Hian says one indication that competition is heating up is SIAEC lost its status as the sole Centre of Excellence in Asia Pacific for the maintenance of Trent engines.

“In addition, we expect SIAEC’s airframe maintenance revenue to decline further due to additional capacity from third-party maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers in the Philippines and Indonesia,” UOB Kay Hian said.

Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian added that other risks for SIA Engineering include lower-than-expected staff costs and higher-than-expected quantum of work from SIA.

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.
