Rolls-Royce Extends On-Wing Care to Singapore

(February 20, 2008) -- Rolls-Royce and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) are combining to offer extended maintenance capabilities to support the growing fleet of Trent engines.

Under the new agreement, Rolls-Royce will offer On-Wing Care services at Singapore Changi Airport, using SIAEC's extensive capabilities. A range of line maintenance support services, from boroscoping to engine change, will be available for Trent operators.

On-Wing Care provides a range of specialised line maintenance support across the globe to be at the closest point of operation to Rolls-Royce customers to maximise engine availability.

Miles Cowdry, President Services, Rolls-Royce, said: "Singapore is a major hub for airlines and aerospace activities. The development of On-Wing Care in Singapore extends our existing presence and our relationship with SIAEC, with which we have established a long-standing and successful relationship in our SAESL repair and overhaul joint venture. This new feature of our operational support forms part of a comprehensive, global On-Wing service which complements our plans for expanding aftermarket activities."

William Tan, Chief Executive Officer, SIAEC, added: "The development of the On-Wing Care service extends our existing relationship with Rolls-Royce. This strong partnership between the original equipment manufacturer and maintenance, repair and overhaul provider will utilise the best resources and expertise from both parties to provide quick response on a wider range of services at the closest point, which help airline customers maximise aircraft utilisation."
