This press release was issued by RTX.

 

Today at the Singapore Air Show, RTX (NYSE: RTX) signed multiple memoranda of understanding with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), further strengthening its long-term commitment to the country’s aerospace ecosystem. These MOUs build on the first agreement announced in July 2025 and underscore RTX’s confidence in Singapore as a strategic hub for advanced aerospace manufacturing; maintenance, repair and overhaul; and high-value engineering capabilities.

Under the new agreements, RTX businesses Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney will expand and introduce new capabilities in Singapore to support next-generation commercial aircraft platforms and meet growing regional demand. In total, RTX will invest over $139 million.

Collins Aerospace: Expanding MRO capabilities to better support regional customers

To better serve the rising MRO demand in the Asia Pacific, Collins will introduce new MRO capabilities in the region to reduce turnround times for its customers, including electrical power systems, as well as environmental and airframe control systems.

The expansion includes Boeing 777X Integrated Drive Generators to support the 777X entry into service. Collins will also add new flight-critical products supporting the 787 fleet. These include controllers for engine starters, cabin air compressors and auxiliary power units, as well as new cooling systems capabilities covering pumps and controller systems. Collins’ investment supports the new capabilities expected to be fully operational in 2030.

Pratt & Whitney: Enhancing GTF MRO and engine manufacturing capabilities

As part of its ongoing efforts to ramp GTF MRO around the world, Pratt & Whitney will add capabilities to service the Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine Fan Drive Gear System (FDGS) at its Seletar facility in Singapore. The new FDGS maintenance line will leverage advanced automation and AI technologies to further reduce turnaround times.

In addition, to support global production demand, Pratt & Whitney will expand coating capability at its operations in Tuas. The coating is designed to enhance the durability of GTF hot section parts. Under the project, Pratt & Whitney will expand its Tuas footprint by 25% and establish OEM-standard engineering expertise.
