Airbus Corporate Jets approved Jet Aviation’s Singapore maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility to join its network of authorized service centers, the companies announced today. This means the operation can now conduct warranty work on ACJ318/319/320/321 bizlines, as well as handle modifications, cabin refurbishment, and software upgrades.
Jet Aviation Singapore has joined the Swiss-based business aviation services group’s facilities in Basel and Dubai as part of the ACJ service center network. It is the only such facility in the Asia-Pacific region, and Airbus Corporate Jets president Chadi Saade said the appointment marks a milestone for the airframer’s relationship with clients in this part of the world.
“Singapore is a key business aviation maintenance hub in Asia-Pacific, with excellent connectivity to the region and beyond,” said David Best, Jet Aviation’s senior v-p of regional operations for the Americas and interim for Asia-Pacific. “The extension of our onsite capabilities builds on our ongoing global partnership with Airbus and our commitment to providing a seamless service for ACJ customers wherever, and whenever, they need us.”
Jet Aviation has operated aircraft management, charter, and MRO services at Singapore Seletar Airport (WSSL) since 1995. With six hangars, the facility has 162,000 sq ft of floor space and holds EASA Part 145 approval and equivalent certification from eight other national aviation regulators.
