Singapore, Feb 24:
Airbus has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Singapore Economic Development
Board (EDB) to facilitate the establishment of a Sustainable Aviation Hub with a specific focus on
technology, research and innovation.
Under this MOU, both parties intend to enter into discussions to facilitate Airbus’ establishment of the
Sustainable Aviation Hub in Singapore. The Hub will bring together aerospace professionals,
researchers, and innovators to create a collaborative environment that promotes research and
development aimed at building a robust and environmentally sustainable aviation ecosystem.
To support the global transition towards decarbonised aviation, the Hub will focus on research and
analysis of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) supply chain and hydrogen-based technologies.
The Hub will work on projects aimed at modernising and improving air traffic management (ATM)
systems, as well as the emerging field of unmanned air traffic management (UTM).
This project includes the design, development, and the test and validation of sustainable next-generation
aviation technologies and best practices in the industry. The Sustainable Aviation Hub will be hosted
within Airbus’ Singapore Campus in Seletar Aerospace Park.
