We trace our roots back to the foundation of Singapore Jamco Private Limited in 1988. Formed as a joint venture between Singapore Airlines (later transferred to SIA Engineering Company), Jamco Corporation and Itochu Corporation, with just 20 employees, the company began manufacturing and maintaining mealcarts, galleys and galley mockups.
In the years that passed, we diversified our capabilities to include the manufacture of seats and VCCs, and the ability to maintain various cabin components including ovens, galleys, closets, carpets, insulation blankets, toilets, and aircraft plastics. We also began to provide nightstop and transit handling services.
In 2014, a restructure divided Singapore Jamco into two separate entities. Singapore Jamco Services Pte Ltd (SJS) was to provide aircraft cabin maintenance services. In the following years, we have also grown from our initial 570 employees in 2014 to 1,000 staff (and counting) by 2018.
On 1 April 2019, we unveiled our new identity as Singapore Aero Support Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIA Engineering Company. Our new name reflects our continued commitment to strengthening our capabilities to support the growing aviation industry's needs, particularly in cabin maintenance, apron support, and logistics.
