Singapore Aero Engine Services (SAESL) on Wednesday signed memoranda of understanding that will support a $180 million, 50,000-square-meter (538,000 sq ft) expansion that will increase its capacity by 40 percent and generate 500 jobs over the next five years.

SAESL CEO Simon Middlebrough called the expansion the most significant step forward for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) joint venture between Rolls-Royce and SIA Engineering since the organization was founded in 1999. “Opportunities like this come along only once in a generation," he said. "Today this sets us on a fabulous trajectory for success.”
