Thales has been present in Singapore since 1973, recognized for its avionics industrial production for commercial aircraft manufacturers and repair centre for aircrafts, with avionics equipment and in-flight entertainment supplied to major airlines in the region. Within the aviation industry, Thales also provides a wide range of support and services to airlines, and is recognised as a key partner for aerospace solutions. This includes Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) for commercial avionics and In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) and Connectivity equipment, as well as parts production for commercial avionics. As the industry evolves, Thales is constantly staying on top of new trends to better serve our airline customers. In recent years, the company has expanded and is today involved in the primary businesses of Aerospace (including Air Traffic Management), Defence & Security and Digital Identity & Security.
With the existing avionics pedigree, Thales in Singapore provides a broad range of design, manufacturing and technical solutions for drone manufacturers and drone operators to support ever increasingly challenging drone operations, at scale. As drone technology continues to advance, Singapore has begun to explore potential Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) use cases with established local capabilities in developing solutions for real-time autonomous drone flight monitoring, in partnership with the local ecosystem. With both national and international regulations in mind, the products support the risk assessment methodology for all commercial drone applications like drone surveillance, delivery and many others.
Today, with innovation at the core of its DNA, Thales invests heavily in digital and deep tech innovations, including connectivity, big data, artificial intelligence, dronation, cybersecurity and quantum computing. With operational excellence and customer experience in mind, Thales provides a one-stop service for all partners and customers including worldwide maintenance, technical support, training, parts trading and line maintenance. Furthermore, with sustainability becoming the focal point of the aviation industry as it heads towards recovery, Thales has since embarked on a new “Green Aviation” mission which aims to research and explore ways to reduce the environmental impact of aviation.
Celebrating its 50th year in Singapore in 2023, Thales currently employs over 2,000 people located in three sites across the country. Its solutions are crucial in critical decision-making with technologies that help key stakeholders master every decisive moment to build societies and futures that everyone can trust.
