The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Singapore have signed an agreement to jointly develop and deliver a global training programme on aviation recovery and resilience for the Directors-General of Civil Aviation (DGCAs) of ICAO contracting states. The agreement was signed by Secretary General, ICAO Juan Carlos Salazar and Director-General, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) Han Kok Juan.

The DGCAs’ Programme on Aviation Resilience will equip Directors-General with new skills and competencies to overcome challenges and seize new opportunities as they rebuild their respective aviation sectors. Topics that would be covered include lessons learnt from the COVID-19 crisis, aviation safety, sustainability, technology and cybersecurity. The inaugural run of the one-and-a-half-day programme will be conducted in Singapore on 18-19 May 2022. Subsequent runs will be held later this year.

Mr Han Kok Juan, Director-General of CAAS said, “Singapore is deeply honoured to be able to partner the ICAO in leadership training on aviation recovery and building resilience. The partnership is a recognition of Singapore’s expertise and experience and testament to Singapore’s commitment to contribute to global aviation recovery and human capital development.”
