Safran Electronics & Defense Services Asia expands scope of repairs

The move was done in anticipation of traffic recovery in Singapore.

Safran Electronics & Defense Services Asia, a joint venture between Safran Electronics & Defense and SIA Engineering Company, will add tyre pressure and brake temperature monitoring for aircraft ranging from business jets to civilian aircraft in its maintenance and repair operations for its Singapore site.

Apart from expanding its maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) activities, Safran Electronics & Defense Services Asia has also acquired a “new scope of repairs including a range of products from external lighting, wiper systems, cockpit control to cargo door systems.”

Safran’s Singapore site is the only site for repairs in the Asia Pacific for A350 avionics equipment and Rotating Pressure Sensor Assembly components.

The aviation services company said the move was done in anticipation of the traffic recovery in Singapore.

“We welcome Safran Electronics & Defense Services Asia’s decision to expand its MRO capabilities in Singapore. It is a testimony to Safran’s confidence in Singapore as a leading aerospace hub,” said Lim Tse Yong, Vice President, Capital Goods and Vice President, Conglomerates, Singapore Economic Development Board, said.
