AFI KLM E&M and Sabena technics have been waiting for the opening of Singapore Airshow to inaugurate their joint component repair shop in Seletar Aerospace Park. This joint venture announced in 2017, Singapore Component Solutions, will be one of the first multi-product and multi-fleet players in the region.
The two MRO companies hope to attract operators that are turning more to OEMs for the repair of their avionics, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, structural components or cabin and safety equipment. They offer their services on ATRs and A320 family aircraft.
Singapore Component Solutions will leverage AFI KLM E&M and Sabena technics regional logistics and inventory centers to deliver short logistical loops and reduce TATs.
The joint venture will have two CEOs at its head: Jacques Montmayeur and Thibaut Campion.
"This joint venture is a chance for us to build up activity and develop our repair shop," explains Thibaut Campion. "In 2018, we will be increasing our footprint by taking over three new buildings at Seletar Aerospace Park. We also intend to double our workforce in 2018, to reach 200 staff in 2022" he added.
New capabilities will be added to the component repair shop over the next three years, including the installation of a high-tech ATEC avionics test cell, Air Cycle Machine bench, pneumatic and hydraulic valve test fixtures.
