SEOUL, Jan. 8 (Yonhap) -- Korea Aerospace Industries Co.
(KAI), the country's sole aircraft manufacturer, on Monday began delivery of
its advanced T-50 trainer jet to Thailand's air force.
KAI received two separate orders to build four T-50TH
trainer jets worth US$110 million in 2015 and eight T-50TH jets valued at $260
million last year. Two of the first four trainer jets will be delivered to the
Southeast Asian country via a 12-hour ferry flight, the company said in a
statement.
The aircraft manufacturer has exported a total of 64 T-50
trainer jets worth $2.9 billion since 2011, it said.
The company is currently pushing to export the advanced
jet to the United States, Argentina and Botswana, KAI said.
