Singapore, ST Aerospace has been certified as a Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO) by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to provide aircraft type training for narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. 

The training courses will be conducted at ST Aerospace’s dedicated technical training centre in Paya Lebar, Singapore.
