The commercial aerospace business of ST Engineering has entered into a multi-year engine MRO agreement with Xiamen Airlines to support its CFM LEAP-1A engines with their first Performance Restoration Shop Visit (PRSV).

ST Engineering’s longstanding relationship with Xiamen Airlines spans over 35 years, beginning with JT8D, CFM56-3 and CFM56‑7B engine shop visits.

Tang Jianqi, deputy general manager of engineering and maintenance at Xiamen Airlines, said: “The success of ST Engineering in winning this highly competitive bidding project on the first round PRSV of Xiamen Airlines’ LEAP-1A fleet fully demonstrates its comprehensive competence in the engine maintenance industry, including quality, service, and pricing.

“For airlines, engine overhaul strategy is one of the most critical decisions in engineering and maintenance. A long-term, stable strategic partnership alliance is precisely what Xiamen Airlines expects on a capable engine overhaul manufacturer such as ST Engineering.”

Tay Eng Guan, head of engine services at ST Engineering, said: “This new agreement with Xiamen Airlines is a testament to their strong confidence in our engine MRO capabilities, built on a robust track record of reliable and high-quality maintenance we have provided to their engine fleets over the years.

“By stepping up our support with CFM LEAP engine PRSV services, we will give Xiamen Airlines the peace of mind to stay focused on their operations and growth while we ensure the upkeep of their engines.”

The announcement was made at the 2026 Singapore Airshow.
