“This MoU builds on our decades-long partnership with Singapore and creates new opportunities to explore innovation and future growth in the aerospace sector,” said Paolo Dal Cin, senior vice president for RTX’s Operations and Supply Chain. “It represents our shared vision for building a strong future focused on technology, advanced manufacturing and talent development in the Asia-Pacific region.”
“Singapore’s longstanding partnership with RTX, a globally leading aerospace company, bears testament to our standing as Asia’s leading aerospace hub.
