SIA Engineering eyes boosting overseas line maintenance earnings

It aims to commence maintenance service at JFK airport in 2018.

After it reported a 15% growth in earnings for the past quarter, SIA Engineering announced that it plans to boost line maintenance revenue overseas.

According to UOB KayHian, the return on assets (ROA) for the said segment is approximately 140%, and it remains a key earnings driver.

"SIAEC performs line maintenance in 36 countries but the bulk of earnings is still derived out of Singapore," the brokerage firm said.

SIA Engineering indicated that that it intends to commence line maintenance at the JFK airport in the financial year 2018.

"[T]his could compensate for the loss of revenue at the repair and overhaul segment due to competitive pressures," UOB KayHian 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.
