Seletar Flying Club
Flying club in Singapore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seletar Flying Club was previously known as SIA Flying Club, it was set up to arouse an interest in flying among the Singapore Airlines staff. On 16 November 1992, the club made the decision to open its doors to the public who were keen to get a private pilot's license before applying for a pilot's career.[1][2] On 17th October 2002, Seletar Flying Club was formed with the blessing of Singapore Airlines and assumes the assets and liabilities of SIA Flying Club.[3]
