The planned deal suffered a setback last month.
The T-50, built by Korea Aerospace Industries, has been designed to provide pilot training for existing and new-generation fighter aircraft such as the F-16, F22 and the joint strike fighter.
The single-engine supersonic jet trainer is capable of carrying a 20mm gun and rocket pods, plus air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. It can also carry electronic warfare pods as well as a radar warning receiver.
