Thailand to be aircraft maintenance centre of Asia

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

The Civil Aviation Training Centre (CATC) will propose that an aircraft maintenance centre be established in order to help promote Thailand as a regional hub providing airlines with full service.

CATC intends to make their recommendations once an interim government is selected.

The biggest player in Asia’s 500 billion baht a year aircraft maintenance industry is Singapore which services a fifth of the market.

“Thailand has the potential to provide more maintenance services than Singapore, but we don’t have a proper centre. Moreover, many people working in Singapore’s aircraft maintenance industry were trained in Thailand,” said Boonritr Saovapruk, CATC governor.
