CAAS inks milestone aviation maintenance agreement with FAA

It will reduce compliance costs for airlines.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has signed a milestone Maintenance Implementation Procedures (MIP) agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The agreement is expected to eliminate duplication of inspections and audits on aircraft maintenance organisations in Singapore and the US, thus resulting in “significantly” reduced regulatory burdens and compliance costs for the aviation industry.

The MIP is the second agreement signed under the US-Singapore Bilateral Safety Agreement (BASA), which was signed in 2004. The first deal under the BASA was the Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (IPA) agreement, which was also signed in 2004 and further enhanced in 2007.

“This landmark agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore will strengthen aviation safety while reducing the cost of inspections for aircraft repair work,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.

The MIP was inked on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
