SIA Engineering Opens Line Maintenance Unit in San Francisco

SIA Engineering (USA) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SIAEC, started operations at San Francisco International Airport on 1 February 2012. This comes three years after SIA Engineering (USA) Inc. launched its line maintenance business in the United States at Los Angeles International Airport. 

The opening of SIAEC’s latest line maintenance facility in the United States further extends the Group’s global network of line maintenance stations, which covers, in addition to Changi, 27 airports in Australia, Hong Kong, United States, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. The line maintenance network across these seven countries handles approximately 800 flights daily round-the-clock for more than 70 airlines. 

The opening of SIA Engineering (USA) Inc.’s new facility is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial performance in FY2011/12. None of the Directors or executive officers of SIAEC has any interest, direct or indirect, in SIA Engineering (USA) Inc.
