SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore's aerospace sector is set to be given a leg up, with a S$40 million (US$30mil) investment over the next three years expected to result in more efficient aircraft maintenance that brings about shorter transit times for passengers post-Covid-19 as well as better detection of potential plane faults.

The investment, announced by the SIA Engineering Company on Wednesday (Jan 20), constitutes the second phase of a programme to make work easier and faster for its workers, and is part of its plans to improve processes even under the empty skies caused by the coronavirus.
