One year after the opening of its ATR component warehouse, Sabena technics continues its expansion and announces today the opening of its component repair shop in Seletar Aerospace Park.
With the first certified equipment planned to be released in September 2016, the 2600 sqm² facility will be focused on technologies such as avionics, hydraulics, fuel, electro-mechanics, cabin equipment, oxygen, pneumatics and aircraft structure component maintenance for several aircraft types.
“We have been present in the Asia Pacific region for over 20 years, and we have seen the market grow at a very fast pace.
