Thailand To Buy More T-50 Jets

Thailand is expected to add on to its existing order of twelve T50 advanced jet trainers from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). Initially, Thailand ordered four aircraft which will be delivery beginning from January 2018 to March 2018. The advanced jet trainer, which the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) designates as T-50TH, were ordered in 2015 for about US$110 million. A second batch of eight aircraft was ordered recently, to delivered from October 2019.  Thailand is likely to order two to four more of the trainer jets.

The compact South Korean aircraft is already operated in Indonesia and Philippines with Malaysia as another potential customer.
