10 Directors-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) attended the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)-Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA) DGCA Programme on Aviation Safety on 18 to 19 October 2024, in Cebu, the Philippines. 🌍✈️ Jointly developed in 2014 by CAAS and ICAO, more than 200 DGs from 113 States have attended this executive-level training programme aimed at introducing newly appointed DGs to the international civil aviation safety system and the responsibilities and obligation of States under the Chicago Convention. The latest run has been refreshed to also cover safety challenges arising from the robust growth in traffic post-COVID. CAAS is deeply honoured to jointly develop and conduct this programme with ICAO. Beyond the formal training opportunity, this programme has helped us forge new connections and deepen relationships with fellow DGs. We look forward to delivering more runs of the refreshed DGCA programme in the near future. 🙌🏼

Happy International Day of the Air Traffic Controller from Singapore and around the World! ✈️ 🌏 #ATCODay

On 16 October 2024, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand signed a MOU to launch a regional aviation safety data and information sharing initiative to jointly identify safety hazards and trends and develop mitigating measures to better manage safety risks. ✍️ The civil aviation authorities of the five States have agreed to share seven categories of data and information in the first instance and on the protocols to safeguard data confidentiality. 📊🗂️ Thailand will be the data custodian while Singapore will be the data analyst for the initiative. The MOU signing was witnessed by International Civil Aviation Organization Council President Mr Salvatore Sciacchitano, Secretary-General Mr Juan Carlos Salazar and Asia Pacific Regional Director Mr Ma Tao. “This initiative is significant in having States agree to share our respective safety data and information so that we can achieve better safety outcomes for all. This would not have been possible without trust amongst the States involved, a shared commitment to aviation safety and protocols to safeguard confidentiality. We hope that this first-of-its-kind initiative in this region will have a catalytic and demonstrative effect and we can onboard more countries to work together to ensure safer skies for the travelling public.” said DG CAAS, Mr Han Kok Juan. 🤝‎✈️

This year's Asia-Pacific Summit for Aviation Safety held at Beijing from 13 to 15 August 2024, called for a human-focused approach to raise aviation safety standards.

The 59th Conference of the Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Region kicked off on 14 October in Cebu, the Philippines. Mr Han Kok Juan, CAAS Director-General, joined Mrs Liang Nan, Deputy Administrator, CAAC - Civil Aviation Administration of China, Mr Frank McIntosh, Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Operations, Air Traffic Organisation, Federal Aviation Administration, Captain Stanley Ng, President and Chief Operating Officer, Philippine Airlines, Mr Toshiyuki 俊之 Onuma 大沼, Senior Deputy Director General, Japan Civil Aviation Bureau, and Mr Athanasios Titonis, Chief Executive Officer, Mactan-Cebu International Airport, on the High-Level Panel on “Shaping the Future of Aviation: Sustainable, Resilient and Inclusive". Mr Han said with air passenger volume in Asia Pacific expected to triple over the next 20 years, aviation is a growth sector offering tremendous opportunities for people, businesses and countries in the region. 📈‎✈️ To seize these opportunities, countries will need to marshal the necessary political and public support to invest in aviation, be a lot more productive and efficient in what we do and better leverage collaboration amongst countries and with the private sector to pool expertise, as tripling resources to meet a tripling in demand will be difficult to do. Mr Han said that International Civil Aviation Organization serves as a force and resource multiplier and encouraged greater participation in regional collaboration, so that together, we can be ready for the future and aviation can fulfil its full potential. 🙌
