This fleet replacement is consistent with the club's mission to be a world-class aviation training center, promote aviation and develop a strong passion for flying among Singapore youth. "Many SYFC graduates go on to become Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) or commercial pilots," said Willie Chow, operations manager of SYFC. "We wanted to provide them with more technologically-advanced machines. With the Diamond DA40s, we expect to attract even more students."

"We are delighted that SYFC has selected the DA40," said Peter Maurer, President of Diamond Aircraft Industries, Inc.  "Integral to our successful bid was the participation of our regional sales and service representative, Asian Aerospace Services, and MAJ Aviation, the prime contractor and maintenance provider.  We look forward to supporting the long term success of the SYFC operation."
