LOOKING AHEAD
Sourcing for membership is still in its early stages, with about a dozen members and outreach largely by word of mouth. Corporate memberships, priced at S$1 million, are also being offered, allowing firms to nominate up to five staff for access. Several private banks have already approached Aviation Hub about partnerships or are looking to introduce the club concept to their clients.
Construction delays during the pandemic have pushed back renovations, but the clubhouse is now on track to open by the end of 2025. Citing how Seletar has a rich history, Liaw said: “Seletar has been a forgotten corner of Singapore for too long, but with the right push, it can rival the charm of Joo Chiat.”
Beyond Singapore, there are plans to expand the club’s flight schools across Malaysia, Indonesia, and Cambodia, while negotiating with regional governments to enable multi-stop excursions. The club is also exploring bringing in larger aircraft capable of carrying more passengers in a business-class configuration, with potential applications beyond leisure. These aircraft could be used as regional air ambulances or luxury air shuttles connecting Southeast Asia to Singapore, a recognised high-quality medical hub.
