Major aerospace hub being built in Malaysia

Zulfikri Osman, COO of Asia Aerospace City talks about the strategic plan to make Malaysia the major hub for OEMs such as Airbus or Boeing.

He said, “It depends, because what we are trying to do now is firstly to attract the OEM Supply Chain. This dictates the industry. For instance, we are now collaborating with AMIC on Research & Technology projects, which is an Airbus organization. We are working on collaboration with BAE Systems in UK to partner on our bespoke “Ensuring Employability Programme” to provide intense theoretical and industry projects to our trainees. We are also preparing the local SMEs so that when the international SMEs want to grow their businesses here they can find the right partners to do business with in this region. The idea is to build a network of supply chain through collaboration and industry partnerships to fulfil our commitment – “The Right Partner, Right Here””
