Singapore will soon become a hub for the repair and delivery of Rolls Royce engines in the region.
The British engine-maker has signed a memorandum of understanding with Singapore Airlines (SIA) to provide round-the-clock service support for its Trent aero engines.
The MOU will see Singapore become a centre for Trent 900 engine support with plans to grow capabilities to include Trent 1000 engines in the future.
SIA currently operates 83 aircraft powered by Trent engines.
The airline recently announced firm orders for 60 new aircraft to be powered by Trent engines.
SIA's low-cost subsidiary Scoot has also ordered 20 new planes powered by Trent engines in 2014.

More business for the plant situated in Seletar. This must be one of Rolls-Royce's best decision to build a regional plant here in Singapore. SIA will also save more on maintenance cost now that the manufacturer is right at its doorstep.
