Flying high in a niche business

ON THE SURFACE, WingsOverAsia Pte Ltd looks like what its managing director Ng Yeow Meng describes as a "country club for aviation enthusiasts". The firm's Seletar Airport site - which it moved into just over a year ago - contains several nicely decorated rooms which are used for social events and meetings.

It even has a private membership club which gives members priority access to a number of WingsOverAsia's facilities such as the VIP room with a balcony overlooking the Seletar Airport runway, as well as preferential rates for flight support and aircraft care services.

But behind the scenes, the firm is also heavily invested in engineering and aircraft maintenance roles. It offers a wide array of services, from aircraft groundhandling and maintenance services, aircraft sales and pilot proficiency programmes apart from its lifestyle services, which is why Mr Ng describes WingsOverAsia as a "one stop shop for all aviation needs".
