SIA Engineering expands line maintenance service in Japan

It will commence operations at Kansai International Airport.

SIA Engineering recently announced that it has established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Japan to provide line maintenance (LM) services at airports in Japan on receipt of relevant approvals from authorities.

According to OCBC Investment Research, SIAEC shall commence operations at Kansai International Airport and intends to expand its presence with other service offerings as well as to other airports at a later stage.

"In our view, this is a positive long-term growth plan as the traditional heavier checks on new-generation aircraft are now broken down into multiple phases to be performed on the apron (i.e. line maintenance) to reduce aircraft ground time in hangars," the brokerage firm said.

It added, "Looking ahead, we also expect SIAEC to continue to expand its LM network in order to better serve its customers. The latest addition also expands SIAEC LM network to 37 airports in eight countries, and over 900 flights daily for more than 70 airlines. All said, we expect this strategy to progressively bear fruit and is unlikely to have any immediate near-term impact."

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.
