“I was born in India near an air force base. As a child fascinated by all the jets, planes, and helicopters in the sky, I wanted to know how they work and what keeps them in the air. Everything I learned about them fueled my interest in aviation. Today, it’s my job to know how they work and what keeps them in the air!
“In 2009, I earned certification in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. Within two years, I had worked for two private aviation companies: first as a Continued Airworthiness Manager, then as an Aircraft Technician maintaining Cessnas. I moved to Singapore in 2011, attended Singapore Polytechnic, and received a diploma in Aerospace Engineering. I also hold EASA B1.1 certification for Fokker 50/60 Aircraft fitted with PW125/127 engines.”
Initially, Ratan joined R&R Aero Services in Singapore as a Technical Sales Executive. R&R was a PAG customer. In 2013, Ratan joined Fokker Services Asia, also a PAG customer, as an Aircraft Technician, progressing to Process & Production Engineer.
Fortunately, in early 2017, PAG wanted to establish a location in Singapore to enhance support to Asia Pacific, in addition to the Brisbane, AU facility. “I was hired as Regional Sales Manager, tasked with opening the doors to PHP-Singapore and developing a customer base. Our primary operation is catering to the needs of customers in Asia,” said Ratan.
In addition to the PHP-Singapore repair shop which specializes in Avionics, customers enjoy access to over 500 in-stock flight ready components stocked in Singapore, as well as access to PAG services and inventory worldwide.
Ratan continued, “Having a facility in in Singapore enables us to support customers throughout Asia with parts being dispatched within an hour and sometimes delivered on the same day if not the next day. Our facility acts as a hub for customers in the Asia Pacific region as they can ship parts to Singapore and take delivery from Singapore, reducing the cost of freight.”
“Of course, many companies can support aviation operators in many ways. But only PAG can do it all for customers. PAG is the “Amazon” of Aviation MRO services. Operators can contact us for everything they need.”
Ratan concluded, “We are always here for our customers. Our goal is to keep them flying because when aircraft are grounded, operators can’t make money or help save lives.”
