Not long ago, GE Aerospace brought revolutionary technology to some of the most crucial yet laborious work in aviation: inspecting every nook and cranny of a high-pressure turbine (HPT), including one particular part that spins at tremendous speeds inside the very core of a jet engine. These exquisitely machined, nickel-based disks bear the blades of the HPT and their maintenance requires painstaking scrutiny. Even the most minor anomaly — a scratch or a minuscule smudge of corrosion — requires professional judgment on which engineering disposition applies: whether the part should be accepted, repaired, or rejected.

Such meticulous examination takes time, so engineers at GE Aerospace Research in Niskayuna, New York, and GE Aerospace’s Global Automation and Robotics Center in Bromont, Quebec, spent five years developing robotic inspectors to assist this arduous process — part of GE Aerospace’s broader, decade-plus-long AI development effort. The first AI-guided “white light robot” inspectors were deployed in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) shop at the Services Technology Acceleration Center (STAC) in the fall of 2024. 

Here’s a closer look at the white light robots in action.

Every two years, global aerospace and government leaders transform Singapore’s Changi Airport into the center of the aviation universe: the biennial Singapore Airshow. The show has become a premier event — not just for the aerospace industry in the Asia-Pacific region but also as a global showcase of the technology that could define the industry’s future. 

Between the strategic partnerships and deals forged in the exhibition center and the latest technological exhibits on the tarmac (or flying over it), this year’s show featured a number of important announcements from GE Aerospace and its partners in Singapore and the greater Asia-Pacific region. Among them are innovative partnerships with Singaporean governmental entities to advance aerospace technology research and development, new investments to support both commercial and military customers’ maintenance needs in the region, and a new collaboration to study airport operations of Open Fan engine technology in development with CFM International’s RISE program. 

Hot off the press from Changi Airport in Singapore, here are four new announcements from the show.

1. Laying the Groundwork for the RISE Program

In a world-first airport partnership, CFM International, a 50-50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, is teaming up with Airbus and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) to study the impact of Open Fan and other RISE program* technologies on overall airport infrastructure. This encompasses ground handling, maintenance, and more. The RISE program is a suite of demonstrator technologies aimed at producing at least a 20% improvement in fuel efficiency compared with today’s commercial engines. It includes the Open Fan engine design, which sheds the traditional ducts encasing the engine for improved efficiency with less drag. The study aims to develop a comprehensive readiness framework that could serve as the global blueprint for airframers, airports, and airlines worldwide.     

“This first-of-its-kind agreement is a huge boon for the CFM RISE development program. These technologies are designed to deliver unprecedented improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions in a highly robust future product that can support demanding operations,” says Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of CFM International. “Now, having the ability to perform a real-world demonstration — from ground handling to maintenance actions to airport operations — will give airlines and, hopefully, the flying public confidence in the safety, durability, and efficiency of Open Fan technology.” 

2. A $300 Million Investment in Singapore

GE Aerospace announced a $300 million multi-year investment plan to bolster engine component repair capabilities in Singapore through 2029 — a continuation of the company’s commitment to growing its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board, the investment will transform engine repair operations, enabling faster turnaround times, improved connectivity, and a more seamless service experience for customers. GE Aerospace plans to establish an AI Center of Excellence to develop AI-enhanced and automated digital inspection solutions, as well as a new facility for REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals)–compliant coatings and the industrialization of such coatings, and a regional center for critical shaft repairs.

The company’s multi-year investment plan is already taking shape with the opening of a new module repair facility at Seletar Aerospace Park. The facility is dedicated to supporting the growth of CFM LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B high-pressure turbine (HPT) module operations. The investment is important to the global engine fleet in that it allows the company to execute work closer to operators in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East. In addition, by expanding HPT module repair for LEAP engines locally, the company expects to reduce turnaround times and improve engine flow across its global maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) network.

“With the addition of Building 8 to our Seletar campus, we are not only expanding our physical footprint but also expanding our capabilities from engine component–level repairs to engine module–level work on the LEAP-1A/1B high-pressure turbine modules,” says Iain Rodger, managing director of GE Aerospace Component Repair in Singapore. “As the first of our focused module repair shops, this provides better connectivity within our engine overhaul supply chains, initially for Asia and Middle East MRO activity. Many of the components currently repaired in Singapore will be used within these modules, and the announced shaft repair capability will also feed into these modules, significantly reducing turnaround times for our customers.”

3. SPAARC: The New Hub for Aviation Brainpower

Ahead of the airshow, GE Aerospace teamed with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, the Singapore Economic Development Board, and the International Centre for Aviation Innovation to officially launch the Singapore Partnership for Aviation Research and Capability (SPAARC), with the aim of accelerating next-gen aerospace research and development. The collaboration will pursue a wide variety of initiatives, including developing AI-powered decision-support tools for air traffic controllers and pilots to improve real-time decision-making. SPAARC will also focus on designing advanced analytical systems to plan flight routes better, optimizing airspace flow, capacity, and communication between airports, airlines, and flight crews; and explore novel engine designs to ensure that future propulsion systems integrate seamlessly with existing aircraft and airport infrastructure. 

4. Strengthening Defense Ties with Thailand

On the defense side, GE Aerospace signed a memorandum of understanding with Thai Aviation Industries Co. (TAI) to explore military engine MRO support, including the possibility of TAI opening a dedicated MRO shop in Thailand to support the Royal Thai Armed Forces. The initial focus of the MOU will be on the T700/CT7, F404, and LM2500 engine fleets. The goal is to provide innovative in-country services that significantly enhance the availability of military fleets in a region where fleet modernization and optimization are a top priority.

CINCINNATI – March 9, 2026 – GE Aerospace plans to invest another $1 billion in its U.S. manufacturing sites and supplier base during 2026 to help accelerate engine deliveries, ramp production of parts that safely extend time between maintenance shop visits, and strengthen defense production to keep pace with military demand.

The 2026 investment—the company’s second consecutive $1 billion U.S. investment—will benefit sites across more than 30 communities in 17 states. GE Aerospace also plans to hire 5,000 U.S. workers, including both manufacturing and engineering roles, in addition to the 5,000 people it hired last year.

“Maintaining U.S. aerospace leadership requires sustained investment in our people, our facilities, and the technologies that will define the future of flight,” said H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., Chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace. “This investment is for our customers, our communities, and our country.”

Since 2024, GE Aerospace has announced plans to invest more than $2.5 billion across its U.S. manufacturing sites and supplier base, including approximately $600 million in sites producing defense engines during the last three years. This manufacturing investment is in addition to the nearly $3 billion GE Aerospace invests annually in research and development.

Accelerating Deliveries
The investment expands capacity at sites producing and assembling commercial and defense engines. This includes $115M in Cincinnati, Ohio—home to GE Aerospace’s headquarters— to modernize infrastructure, increase test cell capacity, and expand advanced 3D metal printing capabilities.  

Defense 
More than $275 million of the $1 billion is planned to upgrade sites producing defense engines and components, helping to strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base to deliver at pace for the warfighter’s evolving needs. Highlights include:
•    $40+ million for Lynn, Mass., to refresh machinery, expand test cell capacity and flexibility to meet delivery pace, and make building upgrades.
•    $10 million for Madisonville, Ky., to invest in new machines increasing part production, inspection equipment, tooling, and facility upgrades.

Commercial 
The company is expanding commercial engine production capacity, particularly the CFM LEAP engine that powers the Boeing 737MAX and Airbus A320 aircraft families. These investments will increase part production for maintenance sites, helping reduce turnaround times. Highlights include:
•    $200 million to expand manufacturing capacity for LEAP high-pressure turbine durability kits that will improve time-on-wing for customers by more than two times in hot and harsh conditions. The investment also supports production of the reverse bleed system, which reduces the need for on-wing maintenance.
•    $20 million for Durham, N.C., for specialized tooling, engine line assembly systems, and building upgrades to support the increased assembly of narrowbody and widebody engines. 
•    $7 million for Lafayette, Ind., in new tools, equipment, and facility upgrades that support engine assembly and increase capacity to meet 2026 narrowbody engine deliveries.

Investing in Supply Chain 
GE Aerospace is investing more than $100 million, as part of the $1 billion, in its external supplier base. These funds will provide tooling and equipment to help stabilize production schedules—critical to meeting delivery commitments. Deploying these investments alongside FLIGHT DECK, the company’s proprietary lean operating model, already have helped improve material input last year by more than 40 percent from priority suppliers compared to the previous year. This, in turn, drove commercial engine deliveries up 25 percent and defense engine deliveries up 30 percent in 2025 compared to the previous year.

Investing in U.S. Workforce 
Today’s hiring news builds on GE Aerospace’s announcement last fall of a new, $30-million GE Aerospace Foundation program to train 10,000 workers by 2030 with the manufacturing skills to support the entire industry.
*CFM LEAP engines are made by CFM International, a 50-50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.

For many operators, going paperless has already become the norm.
While this shift has improved traceability and reduced administrative workload, paperless alone is no longer the main differentiator. Today, the value of a digital maintenance system lies in what it enables operationally: accessibility of information, continuity of data and the ability to manage airworthiness without constant physical presence.

In practice, many organisations still face fragmented data, delayed updates or information that is digital but difficult to exploit. Effective airworthiness management relies on more than stored documents: up-to-date aircraft status, immediate access to maintenance history and clear traceability of findings, corrective actions and certifications. The key question is therefore no longer “Are we paperless?” but “Can we access and trust our data when and where it is needed?”

For CAMOs, reliable and structured access to information is essential for daily activities such as fleet monitoring, audit preparation and Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) renewals. With Blue EYE, airworthiness data is centralized within a single environment, enabling CAMO teams to retrieve aircraft status, maintenance history, CRS, findings and related documentation without relying on physical files or local systems.

This level of accessibility has already enabled remote CofA renewal processes using the system. With all relevant information readily available, airworthiness files can be prepared and reviewed remotely, reducing the need for document consolidation and on-site presence. Rather than a future concept, remote CofA management has become a practical use case demonstrating how a structured digital environment can support regulatory processes.

The reliability of such workflows depends on capturing data at source. Through the eTechlog, flight and technical data is recorded directly by the crew at the time of operation. In parallel, eJobCards allow maintenance technicians to report findings, document corrective actions, attach supporting evidence and sign off tasks directly on the hangar floor. By linking operational and maintenance data to the aircraft in real time, the system ensures continuity from flight operations to airworthiness oversight.

By combining centralized airworthiness management with data captured through eTechlog and eJobCards, Blue EYE enables CAMO teams to move beyond document storage towards truly accessible and actionable information. In this context, paperless is not the end goal, but the foundation for more flexible, efficient and resilient airworthiness management.

Revenue for the quarter was RM247 million, up 31% YoY and 11% Quarter-on-Quarter (“QoQ”)—ADE’s best quarterly growth yet. This was driven by 51% YoY higher revenue from base maintenance, while line maintenance revenue rose 18% YoY on a greater number of flights handled. Growth was supported by expanding work for third-party airlines such as Air France, secured in the preceding quarter, reflecting growing recognition of ADE’s technical capabilities. EBITDA surged 79% YoY to RM55 million, with margins holding steady at 23%. Higher consumables tracked hangar capacity and activity expansion, offset by lower staff costs from operational optimisation initiatives. NOP and PAT margins came in at 11% and 14% respectively, supported by strong topline growth, favourable forex during the period and lower interest expenses following principal repayments.

For FY2025, revenue reached a new high of nearly RM895 million, with EBITDA of RM205 million and RM93 million NOP, reflecting scale benefits and improved financial efficiency.

Commenting on the business outlook, ADE’s  Chief Executive Officer, Mahesh Kumar said, “ADE is entering its next phase of growth from a position of strength. We are finalising a USD100 million debt facility to strengthen our capital base and accelerate expansion beyond Malaysia into Thailand, the Philippines and Bahrain—anchored to AirAsia’s Middle East hub and opening access to Europe. In addition to scale, we are also building depth. As part of our workshop expansion, we are progressively enhancing component and engine-related expertise to capture higher-value work in the maintenance cycle. And with our training centre set to commence operations soon, we are also building the talent pipeline needed to sustain growth and position ADE as a leading regional MRO platform.”
