Singapore Aerospace Industry

Singapore's aerospace industry is a multibillion-dollar powerhouse, capturing over 10% of the global Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) output. Valued at more than US$10 billion, the sector is driven by more than 130 global and local companies, supported by over 21,000 skilled professionals, and features robust operations at the 320-hectare Seletar Aerospace Park.

The sector is anchored by major hubs and governmental drives designed to keep the island as Asia's leading aerospace node:

• Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO): Singapore commands a significant share of global MRO, with top-tier players like SIA Engineering Company and large OEM locations, such as GE Aerospace's largest component repair facility, ensuring high-value support for the rapidly expanding Asia-Pacific fleet.
• Advanced Manufacturing: The country leverages its precision engineering and microelectronics ecosystem to produce mission-critical engine components and avionics.
• Research and Development: The Singapore Aerospace Programme (SAP) led by A*STAR fosters pre-competitive research in manufacturing, advanced materials, and sustainable aviation.
• Space Technology: Capitalizing on its industrial strengths, Singapore has expanded into the space economy, spearheaded by the National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS).
• Infrastructure and Events: The nation is actively future-proofing its capacity with massive infrastructure projects, such as Changi Airport Terminal 5, and the biennial Singapore Airshow.
