The Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), a training arm
of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), signed a Memorandum
of Understanding(MoU) with the Civil Air Navigation Services
Organisation (CANSO) on 27 April 2009, to collaborate in promoting
learning and human capital development in air traffic management and air
navigation services.
The MoU was signed by Mr Goh Chin Ee,
Director of SAA, and Mr Alexander ter Kuile, Secretary General of
CANSO. The signing was witnessed by Mr Lim Kim Choon, CAAS
Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr Ashley Smout,
CANSO Chairman.
The signing ceremony was held in conjunction
with the 4th CANSO Asia Pacific Air Navigation Service Providers
Conference, hosted by CAAS at SAA on 27 - 28 April 2009, in the
presence of more than 120 conference delegates.
The MoU provides an avenue for the
development of joint training programmes, the sharing and exchange
of expertise and speakers by SAA and CANSO, and collaboration in
research and studies.
On the MoU signing, Mr Lim Kim Choon said, “This
MoU further strengthens the partnership between CAAS and CANSO,
which represents the interests of air navigation services
providers worldwide. SAA’s collaboration with CANSO in joint
programmes and activities would complement and add to SAA’s
existing breadth of programmes and training courses in air traffic
services at both operational and management levels. This would
advance human capital development in air navigation service
capability-building in the Asia Pacific and worldwide.”
Mr Alexander ter Kuile said, "CANSO
strongly welcomes this MoU with SAA, as we see it as the first
step in CANSO's IMAGINE 2010 commitment to developing air traffic
management training capabilities to support air traffic management
performance worldwide. CANSO's Imagine 2010 programme is all about
helping to raise global air traffic management performance across
key areas such as safety, environment, and business
transformation. Strong regional programmes and partnerships are
another key element in the Imagine 2010 strategy, and that is why
the work with the SAA is such an important step for us."
