At the Singapore Air Show, RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) on Tuesday disclosed that it inked several new memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
Details
As per the new deals, RTX’s Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney divisions will expand operations and introduce new capabilities to support next-generation commercial aircraft and growing regional demand, with total investments of over $139 million.
Building on a previous agreement from July 2025, these deals highlight Singapore’s role as a strategic hub for advanced aerospace manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul, and high-value engineering.
GTF MRO & Engine Manufacturing Expansion
As part of its global GTF MRO expansion, Pratt & Whitney will introduce new capabilities to service the GTF engine Fan Drive Gear System (FDGS) at its Seletar facility in Singapore.
The FDGS maintenance line will use advanced automation and AI technologies to shorten turnaround times.
Additionally, to meet rising global production demand, Pratt & Whitney will expand its coating operations in Tuas, which will strengthen the durability of GTF hot section components.
This project will increase the Tuas facility’s footprint by 25% and establish OEM-standard engineering expertise.
Singapore Airlines Deal

Under the agreement, Collins Aerospace will provide predictive, reliability-focused maintenance for optimal performance of environmental, electrical, and engine control systems.
