SIA Engineering's line maintenance service to grow 8%

It will be the only segment to register a steady growth.

SIA Engineering's hopes for recovery may likely come only in the line maintenance service segment.

According to a report by CIMB, the segment will be able to see steady growth of 8% per annum in the next three years as more work shifts from hangar to apron, in addition to the growth in flights into Changi Airport.

"However, this comes at the expense of lower margins, as was seen in 2H17 when operating margin fell to 15% from more than 20% historically," CIMB analyst Lim Siew Khee said.

Also, she explained that there could be a downside risk to airframe and component MRO revenue and operating losses if there are further postponements in heavy checks among airlines.

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.
