Aircraft Support Industries

What Aircraft Support Industries does

Aircraft Support Industries (ASI) is a Singapore-headquartered design-and-construction firm founded in 1987 that specializes in custom aircraft maintenance facilities, docking systems, and specialised hangar equipment. Its core technical differentiator is the proprietary Stressed Arch building system, a post-tensioned structural steel arch method enabling clear-span structures of 60-300 meters, complemented by Vertical Roof Lift systems capable of lifting 100-6000 tonnes and Vertical Lift Doors. The firm operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, ASI Heavy Lift, which provides in-house stress-erection and vertical lifting capability, eliminating dependence on third-party heavy-lift contractors.

ASI delivers projects through a long-cycle, enterprise field-sales model via regional offices in Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the UAE, targeting airlines, MRO providers, FBOs, and selected non-aviation industrial clients. Revenue is generated primarily through turnkey design-build contracts (with disclosed project values in the US$5-25M range), supplemented by project management services, finance and leaseback arrangements, and facility planning consulting. With more than 100 hangar facilities delivered across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe, ASI's customer base includes Qatar Airways, SIAEC, HAECO Xiamen, GAMECO, Jet Aviation, SR Technics, Etihad Engineering, and Metrojet among others. The company holds ISO 14001-2004 certification and operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed institutional ownership or funding rounds.
