A legacy in aviation

The Airbus presence in Singapore can be traced back to 1969 when one of its founding companies, Aerospatiale, delivered the first helicopters to the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).

Since that time Airbus has developed strong partnerships in the country, spanning the commercial aircraft defence, space and helicopter markets.

Located at Singapore’s Seletar Aerospace Park, the Airbus Singapore Campus is the regional hub for its commercial aircraft, defence, space and helicopter businesses. It also houses the  Airbus Asia Training Centre (AATC), and the company’s Asia-Pacific spare parts distribution facility, operated by subsidiary Satair.

The Airbus Singapore Campus, located at Seletar Aerospace Park, serves as a regional hub for these diverse businesses, housing the Airbus Asia Training Centre and the Asia-Pacific spare parts distribution facility.

With more than 640 aircraft sold, including the A320neo Family, A330neo, A350, and A380, Airbus is the leading supplier of commercial aircraft to Singapore’s airlines and leasing companies.

In defense, Airbus supports the Republic of Singapore Air Force with advanced platforms like the A330 MRTT and H225M helicopters.

Additionally, Airbus has been instrumental in Singapore’s space capabilities, providing key telecommunications satellites and advancing innovations such as Unmanned Traffic Management.
