Republic Of Singapore Air Force Upgrades Transport Fleet
The Republic of Singapore Air Force has begun receiving used C-130H transport aircraft to replace its older C-130Bs, according to Maj. Gen. Kelvin Fan. The acquisition is part of the air force’s efforts to upgrade its fleet, with the C-130Hs offering improved capabilities and longer service life. The aircraft, previously owned by Blue Aerospace, have been upgraded with improved avionics and digital glass cockpits. The move is seen as a cost-effective way for Singapore to modernize its transport fleet, with the new aircraft expected to serve for the next 15 to 20 years.
