Singaporean aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC) is expanding its presence in the Philippines through its local subsidiary, SIA Engineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP).
SIAEP will begin operations at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) by September 2025.
SIAEC’s entry into Manila’s largest aviation hub stands to benefit not only local carriers, but the broader aviation industry as it opens up more opportunities for skills development, knowledge transfer, and jobs in aircraft maintenance.
New NAIA Infra Corporation (NNIC) president and chief executive Ramon S Ang said of this: “This is a big boost for NAIA and for Philippine aviation. We welcome SIAEP and look forward to working closely with them to improve support for airlines operating here.”
From Clark to Manila
A trusted MRO provider already operating out of Clark, SIAEP is the Philippine subsidiary of SIAEC, which is majority-owned by the Singapore Airlines Group.
Known for supporting many of the world’s top airlines, SIAEP’s decision to expand to NAIA reflects growing confidence in the airport’s ongoing improvements and its potential to become a stronger hub for aviation services.
The presence of SIAEP at NAIA will help provide faster aircraft turnaround and improved technical support, benefitting both airlines and passengers.
Meanwhile, other major MRO companies have also expressed interest in establishing a presence at NAIA.
With more players coming in, airlines will have more choices, leading to better service options and greater overall efficiency.
Ang remarked: “This is part of our broader push to raise NAIA’s standards and make it a better, more reliable gateway not only for travelers, but for the aviation industry as a whole.”
