Singapores vision or this industry
Careers@S ngapore
Singapore is well known today as an air
hub. With more than 350 awards, Changi
International Airport is recognised
as one o the worlds best airports. We
are also the leading centre in Asia or
aerospace maintenance, repair and
o v e r h a u l ( M R O ) , m a n u a c t u r in g
and research and development
( R& D ) . S i n c e 1 9 9 0 , S i ngap ore s
aerospace industry has grown at
an average rate o 12% to become
the most comprehensive MRO hub in
Asia. In 2009, the aerospace industry
achieved a record output o S$7 billion
and employed close to 18,000 workers.
There are more than 100 international
companies carrying out MRO in
Singapore. Aerospace-related R&D in
Singapore has also grown signicantly
over the last two years and is set to grow
urther still. Major aerospace companies
have already established R&D centres
here to leverage the capabilities o our
local research institutions and universities.
Our excellent connectivity has made
Singapore the ideal location or Boeing,
Airbus, Embraer and GE to establish
their regional distribution centres (RDCs).
Singapore is also home to the bi-annual
Singapore Airshow, one o the worlds
top three international airshows.

Seletar Aerospace Park
Singapore is committed to growing the aerospace industry as demonstrated by
the development o Seletar Aerospace Park. Spanning 300ha, this dedicated
aerospace park will host an integrated cluster o activities including MRO;design and manuacture o aircrat systems, components, and light aircrat;
business and general aviation activities; and a regional aerospace campus
or education, research and training. Companies here can reap the benets
o a world-class business inrastructure, complete with runway access and
leverage the synergies rom cluster integration.

passenger and reighter aircrat. The
continued expansion and investment
by aerospace companies urther
augment Singapores position as the
regions MRO centre.
Eurocopters new 8,200 sq-m acility
at the Seletar Aerospace Park will have
twice the hangar capacity o its existing
premises, and will also house its training
and R&D activities.

ST Aerospace has two new hangars
at Seletar Aerospace Park to cater to
narrow-body MRO and Passenger-
to-Fre ighter Convers ion. Able to
accommodate up to three narrow-
body jets such as Boeing 737 andAirbus 320 at a time, these two hangars
will allow ST Aerospace to capture
more MRO work rom the rapidly
growing Asian budget airlines and help
generate downstream MRO work or
the industry as well.
Goodrich has a 530,000 sq-t aircrat
component and systems maintenance
and repair campus in Singapore that
brings together several Goodrich
service businesses under one roo and
represents Goodrichs largest MROcampus worldwide.
Who are the leading players here?
Manufacturing:With a strong manuacturing base,
skilled manpower and ocus on science
and engineering, Singapore is ideal or
aerospace manuacturing activities.
Rolls-Royce established a actory
in Singapore or the manuacture o
hollow titanium wide chord an blades
(WCFBs). Its rst acility outside UK to
manuacture the specialist component,
this actory will be located at Rolls-
Royces Seletar campus alongside the
companys other new acility or the
assembly and test o large commercial
aircrat engines. Rolls-Royces campusat Seletar will create some 500 jobs
when ully operational.
GE Aviation will be manuacturing
engine components at i ts newly
expanded GE Aviat ion Serv ices
Operations acility at Loyang.

Supply Chain Management:Singapores connectivity and robust
inrastructure have made it ideal or
aerospace companies to site their
regional distribution centres here.
B o e i n g I n t e g r a t e d M a t e r i a l s
Managements (IMM) new IMM Asia
Regional Center in Singapore helps
maintain and manage airlines spareparts inventory, providing items to the
airline as needed.
Embraer chose Singapore or its
regional logistics and spares hub to
provide spares and rotables support to
regional airline customers.
Research & Development:Singapore is ast establishing itsel as
a R&D hub. According to the Agency
or Science, Technology and Research
(A*STAR), Singapores gross domestic
expenditure on R&D increased to more
than S$6.3 billion in 2007. In the same
year, the total number o researchers
in Singapore was more than 27,000,
with the private sector employing closeto 60% o them. Several aerospace
companies have establ ished R&D
centres in Singapore to capitalise on
this vibrant research environment.
EADS has established EADS Innovation
Works Singapore, its rst Research and
Technology (R&T) centre outside o
Europe. The R&T centre undertakes R&D
or EADS wide variety o businesses
ranging rom aerospace to deence
and security systems. In some instances,
some o the R&D will be done in
col laborat ion with our Research
Institutes and universities.
Tha les establ i shed the Thales
Technology Centre Singapore (TTCS), a
global centre o excellence or specic
R&D areas in dual-use technologies
technologies that may be used in
deence or commercial applications.
TTCS is signicant in that it is one o the
our Thales corporate R&D centres in
the world, and the rst outside Western
Europe.
In addition to the company established
research centres, Boeing, EADS,
Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce arecollaborating with A*STAR and its
research institutes under the SERC
Aerospace Programme to conduct
pre-competitive basic-directed and
applied research work.
Where do you t into the picture?The long term prospects o the
aerospace industry remain positive in
spite o the current economic climate.
Air trac and aircrat feet size in Asia is
poised or strong growth, bolstered by
rising demand rom China, India and
ASEAN countries.
The global Aerospace industry is also
in a phase o exciting developments.
There has been a recent surge in new
aircrat types being developed and
brought into service. These include theAirbus A380 and A350, as well as, the
Boeing B787 Dreamliner, to name a ew.
These aircrat employ new technologies,
including the extensive use o composites
in airrames, the development o more
ecient engines and the testing o
environmentally riendly uels.
Singapore continues to invest
in strengthening its capabil i t ies,
manpower resources and inrastructure
to better position its aerospace industry
to capture uture growth. There are
growth opportunities in the areas o
design and manuacturing o aircrat
systems and components, regional
aerospace training, as well as businessaviation. Engineers across all disciplines
are needed to ll positions in the new
exciting investments made by leading
aerospace companies in Singapore.
There is a range o positions in MRO
activities, cutting-edge manuacturing
and R&D, as well as in supply chain
management.
There is no better time to be in
Singapore than now; the city is growing
economically with a constant bustle
o activity. Situated at the heart o the
worlds astest growing economies, the
city is a bridge between the East and
West, burgeoning with diversity and
opportunities. Couple these actors withthe citys superb physical inrastructure,
sophisticated IT network, great variety o
living, dining and entertainment options,
and you have one o the most liveable
cities around.
