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 />
