The Air Engineering Training Institute (AETI) was inaugurated at Changi Air Base.
After the SAF School of Technical Training was disbanded in May 1972, the SADC took over control of the Air Technical Training School and the Electronic Technical Training School to train its own technicians. On 10 November 1972, the Air Engineering Training Institute (AETI) was inaugurated as the new centralised training school for all SADC technical personnel and was located at Changi Air Base.

AETI was inaugurated in November 1972.
