ST Engineering’s aerospace unit has clinched S$1.1 billion ($808 million) worth of new MRO contracts in the quarter that ended 31 December.
This brings the total value of the unit’s contracts for 2019 to about S$4.2 billion, nearly twice of S$2.1 billion in 2018.
Among the new deals the unit clinched was a heavy maintenance service contract for a US-based carrier’s fleet of Boeing 757s from the second half of 2020.
ST Engineering Aerospace also won a four-year contract with Japanese carrier Solaseed Air, to provide landing gear overhaul service for the latter’s fleet of Boeing 737-800s.
The MRO contracts also covered a number of maintenance-by-the-hour agreements. In November, ST Engineering Aerospace signed a 15-year agreement with Japan Transocean Air, to support its fleet of 737NG aircraft.
The deals clinched in the fourth quarter of 2019 represent a large proportion of the S$1.4 billion worth of deals the ST Engineering group secured for the period.
