STORY<br />
Seletar Aerospace Park<br />
Developed by JTC Corporation (JTC), the world-class integrated hub spans 320 hectares <strong>of</strong><br />
purpose-built land and infrastructure.<br />
The masterplan for Seletar Aerospace Park: the integrated hub covers an area <strong>of</strong> 320 hectares.<br />
Seletar Aerospace Park is dedicated to hosting a wide range <strong>of</strong><br />
activities including Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)<br />
<strong>of</strong> aircraft and components, Fixed-Base Operation (FBO),<br />
manufacturing and assembly <strong>of</strong> aircraft engines and components,<br />
business and general aviation, training <strong>of</strong> pilots and mechanics, and<br />
research & development. Companies that are located at Seletar<br />
Aerospace Park stand to reap the many benefits that come from<br />
being in an integrated environment, such as the increased scope<br />
for new industry collaborations, created by the park’s shared<br />
infrastructure and the close proximity <strong>of</strong> suppliers, customers and<br />
partners, within a tightly-knit aerospace business community.<br />
Following the implementation <strong>of</strong> Phases 1 and 2, JTC is<br />
embarking on Phase 3, the final part <strong>of</strong> the development.<br />
Two new buildings were completed by JTC in 2011. The Business<br />
Aviation Complex (BAC), a multi-tenanted high-rise facility,<br />
houses companies that support the business aviation sector.<br />
The Component Manufacturing and MRO Facility (CMMF)<br />
is a series <strong>of</strong> eight land-based factories which have been built<br />
for companies engaging in MRO activities and manufacturing<br />
<strong>of</strong> aerospace components. In 2010, JTC also completed the<br />
construction <strong>of</strong> a 66 kV substation.<br />
