Pratt & Whitney to expand capacity of its Singapore engine centre
Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, is to increase the capacity of its Singapore engine centre, Eagle Services Asia (ESA).
The 48,000 square-foot expansion will accommodate a two-thirds increase from the facility’s current capacity.

As part of the expansion, we will increase staffing and provide extensive staff training so that we are well equipped to meet the increased demand.
“We are dedicated to maintaining our customers’ trust as we work through the impacts of the GTF fleet management plan.”
ESA inducted its first PW1100G-JM engine for overhaul in 2019. It is a joint venture between SIA Engineering Company and Pratt & Whitney and a member of the Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network that comprises of the industry’s leading MRO companies.
