The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)
and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) have concluded a
Memorandum of Understanding for the launch of an ERAU Masters in
Business Administration in Aviation (MBAA) programme.
The MBAA to be conducted by ERAU in association
with the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), a division of CAAS, is
scheduled to commence in the second half of 2010 at the SAA. A
forerunner in the field of aviation training, SAA brings to the
MBAA programme more than 50 years of expertise and extensive
international links in aviation training, contributing to raise
the profile and learning value of the MBAA.
SAA will provide learning courses, lessons
and other learning elements drawn from its accumulated experience
and expertise in aviation governance and regulation, and the wider
Singapore aviation industry. These include case studies on the
Singapore aviation experience, visits to aviation organisations
and facilities, and talks by leading government and aviation
business leaders.
“As an enabler of Singapore’s
aviation industry, CAAS endeavours to build the manpower resource
pool for the industry as well as develop Singapore as a centre of
excellence for aviation knowledge and training. We are honoured to
work in partnership with ERAU on this Masters programme. We are
confident that this new programme will further enhance the wide
range of quality training programmes available in the SAA and
Singapore, tailored to meet the demands of the dynamic aviation
industry,” said Mr Yap Ong Heng, Director-General, CAAS. “As Singapore’s aviation industry
continues to grow, there is a need to groom and empower the next
generation of leaders. Aviation is a highly specialised field. In
addition to operational and technical training, management
training provided through the MBAA will be useful for the overall
development of aviation professionals, and preparing them to take
on leadership positions.”
Beyond the MBAA, the MoU also establishes
the framework for broader cooperation between ERAU and SAA in
various areas, including aviation education and training,
information exchange and research.
