SIA Engineering Company has signed a $42 million fleet management programme (FMP) contract with Royal Brunei Airlines to provide maintenance and fleet management services for the airline’s fleet of six Boeing B777-200ER aircraft, which it is leasing from Singapore Airlines.

Under the contract that started in May, SIA Engineering will provide Royal Brunei Airlines with a wide range of services, including fleet technical management, spares support, component repair and overhaul, and heavy maintenance services in Bandar Seri Begawan and Singapore.

With the new contract, SIA Engineering’s fleet management business covers more than 210 aircraft, with 156 aircraft operated by non-SIA airlines. This places SIA Engineering as one of the world’s largest fleet management service provider to airlines around the world.
