The growth in AMETEK Singapore's capabilities has increased the scope of component repair services across the aviation sector. Legacy carriers, low-cost airlines, regional operators, biz jets, and military opportunities are all integral to the long-term plans of the Singaporean facility. With predicted fleet growth expected to outpace that of other regions, local demand is forecast to increase exponentially in the next 10 years. As such, AMETEK Singapore recognises the need to deliver not only the highest standards but also the guaranteed turnaround times that today's ultra-efficient airlines expect.
According to Corish, the pandemic has driven changes to AMETEK's strategy causing a shift in how the MRO will address the market.
"We will be influenced by fleet retirements, airline restructuring and airline purchasing strategies," said Corish. "Many aviation businesses have seen a downturn in revenue and will seize the opportunity to align their businesses with the new aftermarket that emerges post pandemic. As OEMs look to maximise opportunities on relatively new platforms -- such as the A350 and B787 -- without significantly increasing their local footprint, they will seek third-party MROs, like AMETEK, that have invested significantly in local capabilities. These OEMs will be interested in partnering on product repair and licensing agreements, especially for more mature product lines."
