ST Engineering today announced that its Commercial Aerospace business has entered into an MoU with Airbus Defence and Space to carry out a cabin modification programme for an Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport Plus (A330 MRTT+) aircraft in support of the latter's customer.

The A330 MRTT+ is the A330neo-based evolution of the combat-proven A330 MRTT aerial refuelling and transport platform. This MoU sets forth the preliminary understanding between both companies regarding the provision of engineering design, certification and aircraft modification services for the cabin modification programme.

Kevin Chow, Head of Aerostructures and Systems, ST Engineering, said, “This A330 MRTT+ cabin modification marks the latest milestone in our longstanding partnership with Airbus, which includes passenger-to-freighter conversion through our joint venture in Germany. We will build on our successful partnership in freighter conversion and tap on our extensive capabilities in integrated cabin interiors solutions to deliver a product that meets the operator's exact specifications and mission requirements, executed to the highest standards of quality.”

Through a global network of MRO facilities and partners, ST Engineering's Commercial Aerospace business provides integrated lifecycle solutions for cabin interiors including design and engineering, product development, cabin reconfiguration and refurbishment. It possesses rich experience and expertise in developing customised aircraft engineering programmes from bespoke engineering design to certification, supply chain management and aftersales support.
