新加坡工程公司（ST Engineering）於2026年10月9日正式啟用位於新加坡樟宜機場內、樟宜溪（Changi Creek）的全新商用航空機體維修、修理與翻修（MRO）設施。這是該公司在新加坡的第四座機體維修廠，將進一步擴大其在全球航空維修市場的服務能量，因應航空公司機隊持續擴張及飛機服役年限延長所帶來的維修需求。新加坡副總理兼貿工部（貿易）部長顏金勇（Gan Kim Yong）出席開幕典禮。

ST Engineering officially opened its new commercial aerospace airframe maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at Changi Creek, within Singapore’s Changi Airport, on October 9, 2026. The company’s fourth airframe MRO site in Singapore will expand its service capacity and strengthen its global maintenance network as airlines expand their fleets and keep aircraft in service longer. Singapore Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry (Trade), Gan Kim Yong, attended the opening ceremony.

四座寬體機維修機棚　每年可增加約百架服務量

Four Widebody Bays to Add Capacity for Around 100 Aircraft Annually

新設施占地約8.4萬平方公尺，設有四座寬體客機維修機棚。待全面投入營運後，預計可使ST Engineering在新加坡的寬體機機體維修網絡產能增加40%，每年有望額外維修約100架寬體客機，為航空公司提供更充裕的維修時段與更具彈性的排程選擇。

The new facility covers approximately 84,000 square meters and features four widebody aircraft maintenance bays. Once fully operational, it is expected to increase ST Engineering’s widebody airframe MRO capacity in Singapore by 40%, potentially enabling the company to service around 100 additional widebody aircraft annually. The added capacity will provide airlines with greater scheduling flexibility and more reliable access to maintenance slots.

導入數位科技、機器人與AI　提升維修效率

Digital Technologies, Robotics and AI to Improve Maintenance Efficiency

新廠以新世代機體維修需求為設計核心，整合數位化、流程自動化與人工智慧（AI）技術。透過數位規劃系統、自動化儲存與取貨設備、機器人及電子文件管理室，設施可提升整個維修週期的資訊可視性，讓作業流程更順暢，並支援以數據為基礎的維修管理與決策。

Designed for next-generation airframe maintenance, the facility integrates digitalisation, automation and artificial intelligence (AI). Digital planning systems, automated storage and retrieval solutions, robotics and electronic documentation rooms provide greater visibility throughout the maintenance lifecycle, streamlining workflows and supporting data-driven operations and decision-making.

在實際作業方面，無人機將執行一般目視檢查，以提升檢查速度與精準度；自主移動機器人（AMR）則負責將飛機零件從儲存區直接運送至維修機棚，改善零件調度效率並減少人工搬運。即時維修儀表板也能提供最新的營運資訊，協助管理人員更迅速掌握作業狀況。

Drones will conduct general visual inspections to improve speed and precision, while autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) will transport aircraft parts directly from storage areas to maintenance bays. These systems are designed to improve parts handling and reduce manual labour. Real-time maintenance dashboards will also provide up-to-date operational information, helping managers assess conditions and make decisions more quickly.

此外，設施將結合AI輔助飛機檢查與缺陷辨識技術，期望進一步提升維修品質、縮短飛機周轉時間，並強化作業安全與可靠性。新廠也納入永續設計，包括設置太陽能發電系統及雨水回收設施，兼顧維修營運需求與環境管理。

AI-enabled aircraft inspection and defect identification capabilities will further support maintenance quality, reduce aircraft turnaround time, and strengthen operational safety and reliability. The facility also incorporates sustainability measures, including on-site solar power generation and rainwater harvesting.

全面運作後聘用逾500人　培育數位航空維修人才

More Than 500 Jobs Planned as Facility Develops Digital MRO Skills

ST Engineering預計，新設施全面擴大營運後，員工人數將超過500人。為配合數位化與自動化程度日益提高的維修作業，公司將提供相關培訓與技能提升計畫，協助員工熟悉數位技術及AI輔助工作流程，使其能將既有航空技術專長與新興工具結合。

ST Engineering expects the facility to employ more than 500 people once operations are fully ramped up. To support increasingly digital and automated maintenance processes, the company will provide training and upskilling programmes in digital technologies and AI-enabled workflows, helping employees combine their existing technical expertise with emerging tools.

ST Engineering商用航空總裁Kevin Chow表示，隨著航空公司機隊擴大、飛機服役時間延長，業者需要穩定的維修產能、可靠的服務品質與一致的作業標準。新設施將回應這些需求，同時透過科技導入與高技能職位，進一步強化新加坡的國際航空樞紐地位及先進航空維修能力。

Kevin Chow, President of Commercial Aerospace at ST Engineering, said that as airline fleets grow and aircraft remain in service longer, operators need dependable maintenance capacity, reliable performance and consistently high standards. The new facility is designed to address these requirements while strengthening Singapore’s position as a global aviation hub and supporting the development of advanced aerospace capabilities and skilled jobs.

新加坡經濟發展局（EDB）執行副總裁Cindy Koh則指出，新廠將結合先進機器人、數位化與AI技術，推動更緊密連結、自動化且永續的維修作業模式。相關技術也將為新加坡人才提供進修及接觸先進航空科技的機會，拓展航空產業的職涯發展空間。

Cindy Koh, Executive Vice President at the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), said the facility’s robotics, digital and AI capabilities would enable more connected, automated and sustainable maintenance operations. These technologies are also expected to create opportunities for Singaporeans to develop new skills, work with advanced aerospace technologies and pursue careers in the aviation sector.

擴大亞太與北美布局　中國及美國新機棚陸續投入營運

Expanding Across Asia-Pacific and North America

除新加坡外，ST Engineering在亞太地區的機體維修網絡也包括中國廣州與鄂州的設施。鄂州第二座機棚預計於2027年下半年投入營運；美國佛羅里達州彭薩科拉（Pensacola）的兩座新機棚，則預計自2027年初起陸續啟用，進一步擴充集團的全球維修產能。

Beyond Singapore, ST Engineering’s airframe MRO network in the Asia-Pacific region includes facilities in Guangzhou and Ezhou, China. A second hangar in Ezhou is expected to become operational in the second half of 2027, while two new hangars in Pensacola, Florida, are scheduled to enter service progressively from early 2027. These additions will further expand the Group’s global maintenance capacity.

隨著新加坡新廠啟用，以及中國與美國新機棚陸續投入營運，ST Engineering正透過跨區域設施擴張與智慧化維修技術，提升寬體客機維修服務能量。在全球航空運輸需求與機隊維護需求持續變化之際，產能擴充、數位化管理及技術人才培育，將成為其商用航空MRO業務發展的重要方向。

With the Singapore facility opening and additional hangars planned in China and the United States, ST Engineering is expanding its widebody maintenance capabilities through a broader international network and technology-enabled operations. As global aviation and fleet maintenance requirements continue to evolve, capacity expansion, digital management and workforce development are set to remain important priorities for its commercial aerospace MRO business.
