Khazanah is spending serious money to refurbish hanger 2, 3, 4 and supporting facilities for the above project. Each hanger could accommodate up to A350/787 size widebody.

Finally they can put the vacant hangars to good use. Malaysia Airlines used to operate the region's largest hanger back during its heyday.

SIAEC knows that they are reaching the expansion limit at Changi Int'l Airport, hence they are looking for land bank to expand. Their Seletar Airport facility expansion can't come fast enough. SIAEC is all booked for next few years doing MRO service to a lot of int'l airlines. DL send their 767, 777 and A350 for heavy checks, FedEx B767F, 777F and MD-11F, even AirAsia X A333. They have recently swallowed SR Technics and POS Aviation Engineering Services to gain local manpower rather than setting up from scratch.

I wonder why previously Malaysian gomen has not actively driven the MROs and pax-to-freighter conversion opportunity. SIAEC together with ST Engineering have been the dominant players in APAC region along with AMECO, HEACO and GAMCO in China. They even have facilities throughout the world and these are all booked, can't churn out converted aircraft fast enough.

They dont see far or probably contracts not in favor of u know who lol. The worse one was how Airod was not well taken care off in regards with the forever postponed full package rockwell collins avionics update for the C-130H modernization project for the RMAF. Instead asking them to focus on airline and corporate jet MRO while our neighbors like Thai and Indon with their gov support have setup their own maintenance facility any hercules users worldwide in response to our lackluster effort. 

Anyways SQ engineering has some setback as the Philippines site has a lot of backlogs and long wait. 

With the gov keen on improving SZB footprint in  SZB, MAG moving most engineering ops to KLIA, SQ group in need of alternative maintenance site, This is pretty much a win win situation for most parties with minimum required input from our gov.
