iFly Singapore to expand into Singapore education sector with indoor skydiving

Application to conduct Sports Education Programme.

iFly Singapore announced that it plans to start expanding into Singapore’s education sector through their application to conduct a Sports Education Programme.

This would allow indoor skydiving to become more accessible to students between 7 and 16 years old, and open doors to the exhilarating experience of skydiving without the high cost and risks involved with outdoor skydiving, the company said.

Students taking modules under this proposed programme will have the opportunity to learn the science behind the functionality of the wind tunnel, and become technically proficient with the sport, it added.

Already, Dunman High, Greendale Secondary, Telok Kurau Primary and Radin Mas Primary schools have had the chance to experience the iFly Singapore Education Tour.

Along with the planned outreach to schools, iFly Singapore has also scheduled the launch of its Membership Programme early next year, providing a more attractive package for regular flyers who are considering taking on the sport more seriously or for overseas based flyers who regularly visit iFly Singapore for training purposes. Proflyers currently account for $1.2 million of the firm's annual revenue.

The two available proFLYER packages have been designed to transit the novice indoor skydiver to a competent flyer through a series of step-by-step training sessions led by iFly Singapore’s flight instructors certified by the International Bodyflight Association (IBA). iFly Singapore members stand to save up to S$3,100 when compared to the rates that a proflyer would normally pay for 40 skydives.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
