Heard through the grapevine that Singapore Flying College are planning on setting up in NZ. Apparently Napier is their first choice. Up to 30 aircraft including turbines, 2009 startup.
Good luck to them on getting instructing staff!

I was under the impression they'd ruled out TU and Wanga's.

Another reason why I might try to get a scholarship to the SFC...

I think they're after a controlled aerodrome. Keep your ear to the ground, plenty of instructing jobs to be had if it does happen!
