ST Engineering has announced the acquisition of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) contracts for CFM56-7B and LEAP-1A engines with two major operators in the Middle East. These multi-year agreements will see ST Engineering delivering heavy maintenance services from its engine MRO facilities located in Asia.
The company’s Head of Engine Services, Tay Eng Guan, highlighted the significance of these contracts, stating, “As a trusted engine MRO partner, we are continuously investing in our capabilities and services to better support our customers globally. Our market presence in the Middle East has been growing in recent years, and our latest contracts with the two new Middle Eastern customers provide a strong foundation for collaboration with operators in this region.”
ST Engineering’s Commercial Aerospace division has a robust history in servicing CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines. Notably, it is the first independent MRO provider in Asia to be recognised as a Premier MRO provider within CFM International’s LEAP open MRO ecosystem. The company expanded its capabilities in 2024 by adding testing services for the new-generation CFM LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines at its Singapore facility and is now advancing to include LEAP Performance Restoration Shop Visit services.
This development underscores ST Engineering’s strategic expansion in the Middle East, reinforcing its commitment to delivering high-quality services and fostering strong partnerships with regional operators. The contracts are expected to bolster the company’s presence and influence in the Middle Eastern aerospace market.
