The expanded site means Singapore will become Safran’s largest maintenance site for aircraft landing gear on several aircraft types
[SINGAPORE] A joint venture between Safran Landing Systems Services Singapore and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) broke ground on a S$22 million facility expansion on Tuesday (Feb 3).
The expansion is a new 7,500 square metre facility at 66 Loyang Way and it will complement the company’s existing facility at 21 Loyang Crescent. Benoit Graby, managing director of Safran Landing Systems Services Singapore, said the site is expected to be completed by September 2026 and will add 40 per cent to the company’s existing capacity.
The expansion means that Singapore will become Safran’s largest maintenance repair and overhaul site in Asia-Pacific for landing gear on several aircraft types.
This includes the Boeing 787, Airbus A350, A320 and A321.
It will create around 100 technician and engineer jobs over the next five years, said Jermaine Loy, managing director of the Singapore Economic Development Board.
