MRO ST Aerospace Adds Charter

Singapore state-owned ST Aerospace, known for its MRO operation and its passenger-to-freighter conversions, also runs a small business jet charter operation. Subsidiary Pacific Flight Services (PFS) operates from Singapore, although its four jets are registered in Australia.

Scattered among the 737s, 757s and A320s being overhauled in the company’s three hangars at Seletar airport are a Gulfstream G550, a Learjet 35 and a Learjet 45. A pre-owned Gulfstream G150 will join the fleet soon. Most of the flying is contracted through brokers, Goh Yong Kiat, senior vice president for the defense business at ST Aero, told AIN. The number of wealthy individuals wanting to visit the island state has been on the rise since two major casino resorts were opened in 2010-11, he noted.
