The Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) sells eight units of
its military jet T-50 to Thailand. The contract size amounts to some 260
million U.S. dollars.
According to the KAI on Sunday, it has signed an export
contract on Saturday with the Thai government to sell the military jet at JW
Marriott Hotel in Seoul. This contract is made following Thailand’s air force
purchased four units of T-50 in 2015. KAI plans to deliver all of T-50 units to
Thailand by May 2020.
This contract makes the total sales of the KAI’s T-50 64
(worth approx. 2.93 billion dollars): 16 to Indonesia, 24 to Iraq, 12 to the
Philippines and 12 to Thailand. “We are planning to export T-50 to Botswana,
Argentina and the U.S.," the KAI said. "The sales to Thailand will
give momentum to the export of T-50."
