ST Aerospace and Jetstar Asia have announced a three-year line maintenance contract for Jetstar Asia's existing and future fleet of A320 aircraft.
"We are honoured to have Jetstar Asia entrust their aircraft line maintenance activities to ST Aerospace. Since 2004, the regional air carrier has been our valued customer for the maintenance of its A320 fleet. With the inclusion of line maintenance services, we will be able to provide all-rounded engineering support for Jetstar Asia. As Singapore becomes an increasingly important aviation hub, our aim is to expand our line maintenance business to cater to the growing demand in the region," says CHANG Cheow Teck, President, ST Aerospace.
Maintenance services for Jetstar Asia's A320 fleet will be undertaken by a dedicated line maintenance team located at Changi Airport and supported by ST Aerospace's base maintenance facilities in Changi, where a new narrow-body hangar has recently been added. This new hangar is able to cater for the maintenance of two A320 aircraft simultaneously. This increases ST Aerospace's global hangar capacity to 38 wide-body bays, 27 narrow-body bays and 24 general aviation bays.
