Bombardier plans to expand its Singapore service centre at JTC’s Seletar Aerospace Park, by adding a newly built nearby facility of approximately 250,000ft² (23,000m²). The addition will complement the company’s existing service centre, and represents a total planned investment of approximately S$100m (US$78m) by a local developer.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, and operations are planned to begin in H2 2028. The facility will offer services including scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications, avionics installations, and 24/7 AOG support. The facility is also intended to support aircraft recompletion activities, including paint and interior finishing, and have a component repair and overhaul (CR&O) workshop. The site is also expected to include a customer lounge and dedicated crew rest area.
“Our Singapore service centre has long been a cornerstone of service and support excellence in Asia-Pacific, supporting approximately 2,000 aircraft annually as regional demand continues to grow,” said Paul Sislian, executive vice president, aircraft sales and Bombardier aftermarket services. “This expansion reaffirms our commitment to supporting customers close to where they operate, while delivering a service experience defined by care, convenience and responsiveness. Asia-Pacific remains an important hub for Bombardier, and this investment is expected to further strengthen our footprint and ability to serve customers across the region.”
Bombardier’s expanded presence at Seletar Airport – supported by key regional collaborators, including Singapore’s JTC and Economic Development Board (EDB) – is expected to support the creation of more than 200 highly-skilled jobs over time, contributing to the development of regional growth and aerospace talent. The site currently employs more than 300 local staff, including approximately 250 licensed engineers and technicians.
Additionally, Bombardier has joined A*STAR Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre’s (A*STAR ARTC) industry consortium as an anchor member to further strengthen its MRO capabilities. This collaboration is intended to accelerate digitalisation, AI and automation, enhance operational efficiency, and reinforce Singapore’s position as a key aerospace maintenance hub.
“Bombardier’s latest expansion will add new MRO and recompletion capabilities for next-generation business aircraft and create 200 new jobs,” said Cindy Koh, executive vice president of EDB. “This investment will further entrench Singapore’s status as Asia’s premier aerospace hub. The collaboration with A*STAR ARTC on advanced MRO solutions exemplifies how globally leading companies can tap on Singapore’s vibrant and trusted ecosystem to drive new innovations in advanced manufacturing that will shape the future of aviation and aerospace.”
