AAIS hosted a study visit by the MBA International programme from Italy’s CUOA Business School on 6 June 2024. It was a pleasure to welcome Prof Andrea Vinelli and his students to Seletar Aerospace Park and to brief them on the latest developments in aviation and aerospace in Singapore. A key point made was on the importance of ‘Connectivity’ as the economic lifeblood of Singapore, and hence the strategic value of the Air Hub, and the air transport and aerospace industry. Singapore is making long term investments in its airport infrastructure (e.g. Changi T5), and making preparations for its 2050 net zero goals, and Advanced Air Mobility capabilities. The aerospace industry is also in a growth cycle post-pandemic with both a strong inward flow of investments strengthening the Singapore hub and private sector investments expanding the economic space globally.
