Alvin Tan on growth of maintenance, repair and overhaul sector of aviation industry
Singapore's aerospace industry is coping well with the increase in demand for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services following the reopening of borders, said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan. Replying to an MP's questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 7), he said the industry's monthly index of industrial production has exceeded pre-COVID levels since the second quarter of 2022 and grew 27.7 per cent on-year in 2022. Mr Tan said Singapore expects MRO demand to grow further as China opens its borders. To cope with this demand, aerospace companies are increasing their recruitment efforts and looking to fill about 3,000 new roles by the end of this year. They are also investing in technology and innovation.
