RTX has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) which outlines a 10-year roadmap to further long-term strategic collaboration in Singapore.

RTX says the agreement reaffirms its longstanding commitment to Singapore and its role as a key hub for RTX’s global operations, particularly in aerospace MRO, advanced manufacturing and innovation.

The MoU, announced during the Paris Air Show 2025, is the latest example of the mutually beneficial long-term partnerships between RTX and EDB, reinforcing both parties’ commitment to Singapore’s position as a strategic node in RTX’s global network.

It sets the stage for strategic investments and collaborations across core areas including advanced manufacturing, MRO, AI and innovation, talent and skills development, and foundational technologies for next-generation platforms.

Paolo Dal Cin, senior vice president for RTX’s operations and supply chain, said: “This MoU builds on our decades-long partnership with Singapore and creates new opportunities to explore innovation and future growth in the aerospace sector. It represents our shared vision for building a strong future focused on technology, advanced manufacturing and talent development in the Asia-Pacific region.”

Cindy Koh, executive vice president at the EDB, said: “Singapore’s longstanding partnership with RTX, a globally leading aerospace company, bears testament to our standing as Asia’s leading aerospace hub. We are heartened to see RTX’s growth in Singapore to capture aerospace and aviation growth opportunities in Asia Pacific region.

“We are excited to witness the build-out of new capabilities in advanced manufacturing and innovation in the coming years, which will bring significant value to the ecosystem.”

Singapore is RTX’s third largest commercial footprint outside of the US, a result of strong support from the Singaporean government and its strategic location near major markets in the region.

It serves as RTX’s commercial aviation operational hub in Asia Pacific.

For over 50 years, RTX has had a presence in Singapore serving as the country’s largest foreign aerospace and defence employer, with more than 4,300 employees across 12 factories.
