SIA Engineering Company and Safran Aircraft Engines have agreed to form a joint venture in Singapore to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for CFM LEAP engines. The arrangement was confirmed in a Safran press release dated 5 June 2026.
The planned venture will focus on LEAP engine MRO, giving the two companies a dedicated overhaul capability in one of Asia’s key aviation hubs. The announcement did not disclose the ownership split, investment value or launch timetable.
The LEAP family powers a large share of new narrowbody aircraft in service and on order, making local support capacity an important part of regional engine maintenance networks. The agreement also extends OEM-linked MRO activity in Singapore, where engine support remains a central part of the aerospace sector.
