Aircraft Support Industries Launches New Hangar Project with Jet Aviation Singapore
In September 2016, Jet Aviation signed a letter of award with Aircraft Support Industries (ASI) for the design and build of a new Hangar for its operation in Singapore, in addition to Ancillary work to its existing facility.
The Award of Contract was followed by a Ribbon-cutting Ceremony on October 21st to launch the start of works. The new build will provide an additional 3,850 square meters of Hangar space and add 380 square meters to the interior shop with additional space for equipment and storage. This will be Jet Aviation’s third Hangar at their integrated MRO/FBO Base at Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore and once complete, it will offer a total Hangar space of 11, 650 square meters. Hangar 3 will be capable of accommodating two Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) aircraft or five Gulfstream G550 aircraft. The new Hangar will be constructed adjacent to the current site by Aircraft Support Industries and managed by MERx Construction - the same companies that were responsible for the building of Jet Aviation’s second hangar in 2014.
“As with our second Hangar at 1071 West Camp Road, we are building this third Hangar to meet the growing demand in the region for Business Aviation services, particularly for large, long-range Business Jets,” says Stefan Benz, senior vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation’s MRO and FBO operations in EMEA & Asia. “The new Hangar will significantly boost the capacity of our maintenance, FBO and parking operations.” Also present at the Ceremony were Senior Representatives from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and JTC - the Land Managers at Seletar Aerospace Park.
