ST Engineering signs component deal with Collins Aerospace

ST Engineering and Collins Aerospace have signed three multi-year agreements to enhance component support for airline operators. These agreements mark a new collaboration on component repairs and extend existing arrangements for spare parts procurement and lifecycle repairs. Together, they enable ST Engineering and Collins to integrate original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) expertise, providing airline operators with reliable, fast-turnaround component repairs to meet aircraft dispatch needs. The agreements cover three areas: New Boeing 787 component repair support: ST Engineering will provide repair services for Collins fan assembly electronics boards used on the 787. The cooperation agreement reduces Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) repair turnaround times and improve efficiency through repair-over-replacement solutions for airlines and operators. Broader OEM spare parts support: ST Engineering extended and expanded a multi-platform agreement to procure new Power & Controls spare parts from Collins for its LRU component MRO operations. The broader scope adds more narrowbody aircraft components to ST Engineering’s portfolio for enhanced OEM-standard component repair support. Continued lifecyle repair support for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 LRUs: ST Engineering and Collins extended their collaboration on A320 and 737 family LRU component repairs through Collins’ aftermarket support programme, FlightSense. “Our longstanding relationship with Collins Aerospace brings together its OEM expertise and ST Engineering’s lifecycle MRO and comprehensive asset management strengths to better support airline operators worldwide,” said Poon Kok Wah, SVP and Head of Component Services at ST Engineering. “The expanded scope of these agreements deepens our collaboration and enhances the value of our Maintenance-By-the-Hour programme, in-house component MRO capabilities for the 787, 737 MAX and A320neo and distribution and material services. Together, these capabilities provide customers with broader repair coverage, reliable component support and responsive lifecycle solutions.” “Expanding our collaboration with ST Engineering allows us to better support the aviation ecosystem with agile and high-standard MRO solutions,” said Jen Latka, Vice President of Aftermarket, Power & Controls, Collins Aerospace. “These lifecycle and repair programmes ensure that operators worldwide benefit from maximised component efficiency and enhanced fleet performance.” ST Engineering wins Hebei Airlines CFM56-7B engine PRSV deal (PHOTO: ST Engineering) ST Engineering announced that its Commercial Aerospace business has secured a two-year exclusive agreement with Hebei Airlines to provide Performance Restoration Shop Visit (PRSV) services for CFM56-7B engines starting in September 2026.
