Prior joining AWN, Chuanren was a regular serviceman in the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Air Defense and Operations Command. He now serves the RSAF Air Force Information Center as a reservist. He holds a Bachelor of Mass Communications as well as a Diploma in Mechatronics (Aerospace).
The future Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fleet of Lockheed Martin C-130J is set to double, while Indonesia is expected to take delivery of its first C-130J-30 in February or March 2023.
As an estimated 20% of the pre-pandemic air transport workforce is expected not to return, the sector should set aside more capital to invest in new technologies to plug the gap.
