Take a look at the winners from this year.

Quickstep Aerospace Services filled the gap in the local market for a large independent MRO for major aircraft components, supporting the Australian aviation industry with onshore capability and skilled jobs growth. The leadership team showed great due diligence and risk management through the process of securing the acquisition, particularly while executing the deal during the height of the pandemic.

Air Works executed a brand refresh campaign to strengthen its brand position and reinvigorate its marketing narrative. The company crafted its competitive differentiation in a manner that leverages organizational strengths, capabilities & accomplishments over its 72-year history.

In a niche market for PT6A and TPE331 turboprop engines, Pacific Turbine Brisbane had been a pillar of MRO services for companies within Oceania and Asia Pacific. The company demonstrated a targeted segmented strategy and evolution throughout the pandemic.

Supported by a team of professional and experienced engineers, SIA Engineering has capabilities on current and new generation Airbus, Boeing and Embraer aircraft types. The company showed a strong focus on a lean transformation to drive cultural and business changes.

ST Engineering Aerospace developed unmanned aerial solutions customised for operation in an urban environment. It’s an end-to-end operation platform that combines drone robotics, networking, video analytics, and data sharing for public security, perimeter security, asset inspection, lightweight deliveries and more. In 2022, the company obtained the first permit from CAAS to allow drones to fly over people.

Bombardier Aerospace Services primarily focused on operational improvements. For example, their facilities are sustainable and awarded with Singapore’s Greenmark GOLD and USGBC LEED Silver certifications plaques. Not only did they promote and implement the use of electric vehicles, Bombardier Singapore’s maintenance and ground handling customers are also now using sustainable air fuels at Seletar Airport.

Under Jeffrey’s leadership, ST Engineering Aerospace continued to leverage its engineering and innovation expertise to develop solutions that are effective in meeting clients’ needs and sensitive to environmental concerns. There was good revenue growth for the company during the pandemic, partially due to a strategic shift for the company to focus on P2F conversions.
