SINGAPORE — Bombardier will invest $100 million to expand its Service Centre at Seletar Aerospace Park, adding a 250,000 sq ft facility that nearly doubles its Singapore footprint to meet rising Asia‑Pacific demand. The expanded hub will create more than 200 skilled jobs and is set to become the world’s largest business aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) centre once completed.
The new facility, alongside the existing centre, will provide scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications, avionics installations, 24/7 aircraft‑on‑ground support, and a component repair and overhaul workshop, plus a customer lounge and crew rest area. Construction begins in 2026 with operations planned for the second half of 2028.
Bombardier currently employs about 300 staff in Singapore, including roughly 250 licensed engineers and technicians. Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling said the expansion underscores Bombardier’s confidence in Singapore and will reinforce the city‑state’s role as a leading business aviation hub in the region.
As an anchor member of A*STAR’s Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre, Bombardier will collaborate with local R&D to develop next‑generation MRO capabilities, focusing on digitalisation, automation and artificial intelligence to boost safety and efficiency. Paul Sislian, Bombardier’s executive vice‑president for aircraft sales and after‑market services, said the investment will strengthen the company’s regional footprint and help grow aerospace talent.
Bombardier already maintains a strong Asia‑Pacific presence with service centres in Melbourne and a joint facility in Tianjin, plus a regional parts hub and customer response centre in Singapore. The move comes amid robust regional growth: Asia‑Pacific is the fastest‑growing aviation market and Singapore’s aerospace sector, spanning more than 130 companies, saw output rise 19% in 2024 to over $18 billion. Bombardier reported a record order backlog exceeding US$20 billion in April 2026 and has about 5,100 aircraft in service.
