ST Engineering S63 announced that its commercial aerospace business has secured a 5-year component maintenance-by-the-hour contract from Virgin Australia Airlines.
In a press statement on Friday (Nov 12), ST Engineering said that under the contract, it will provide full, integrated component support to the growing fleet of Virgin Australia Airlines' Boeing B737NG from this month.
The suite of comprehensive component maintenance, repair and overhaul services (MRO) include repair management, pool access and provision of consignment stock in Australia.
ST Engineering said that this adds to the airframe heavy maintenance services that it is currently providing to the airline at its Singapore facility.
Commercial aerospace president at ST Engineering, Jeffrey Lam, said that this move supports the group's business activities and recovery as it emerges from this challenging period for the aviation industry.
"Our comprehensive life cycle nose-to-tail support capabilities will be leveraged to provide Virgin Australia Airlines with the highest quality and most reliable services that our customers have come to expect from ST Engineering," Lam noted.
