Bombardier to grow Apac service hub in Singapore with S$100 million expansion 

[SINGAPORE] Bombardier will boost its Asia-Pacific service centre in Singapore with a S$100 million expansion that will double the company’s current footprint in the city-state.

The Canadian company, which focuses on business and private jets, will build a new 250,000 square foot facility in JTC’s Seletar Aerospace Park to support aviation sector growth in Asia-Pacific.

This comes as part of Bombardier’s long-term strategy for growing its services business globally.

Paul Sislian, executive vice-president for aircraft sales and Bombardier aftermarket services, said that the Singapore service centre supports “approximately 2,000 aircraft” a year.

“Asia-Pacific remains an important hub for Bombardier, and this investment is expected to further strengthen our footprint and ability to serve customers across the region,” he added.

The expansion was supported by JTC and the Singapore Economic Development Board.

The new facility will be located at Seletar Aerospace Road 1. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second half of the year; operations will begin in the second half of 2028.

Bombardier’s Singapore hub currently employs around 300 people. The expansion will “support the creation of more than 200 highly skilled jobs over time”, the company said.

The facility will offer services including maintenance, modifications, avionics installation and round-the-clock emergency support. It will also allow painting and interior finishing, along with a component repair and overhaul workshop.

Bombardier, which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, reported revenue of C$1.6 billion (S$1.5 billion) for the first quarter, driven by “meaningful contribution” from services.

It has a record order book of C$20.3 billion, fed by strong demand for its latest business jet, the Global 8000.
