Kelley Aerospace said yesterday it will train and upskill at least 250 locals to retrofit private jets and manufacture carbon fibre for planes. It is also looking to open a flying academy to train pilots for its jets. The American firm is launching three programmes here. One involves buying 100 aircraft by 2024 that will fly private clients around the world, with in-flight meals prepared by Michelin chef Bruno Menard. Clients will be by invitation only for the private network, which will operate out of Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China. The second programme is to design, manufacture and assemble unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including the Arrow UAV, which has been worked on by engineers over the past few years. Kelley Aerospace said it is ready to move forward with a prototype, and will need to trai...
