SG pledges $2.3m for aviation fellowships in next three years

It will support officials in attending courses on aviation safety and security.

The government will pledge $2.3m (US$1.8m) to the Singapore-ICAO Developing Countries Training Programme to provide 330 fellowships and 10 scholarships over the next 3 years.

“These will support officials in attending courses on aviation safety and security, aviation management, and air traffic services,” Jeffrey Siow, acting Minister for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Finance, said.

Under the Singapore-IMO Third Country Training Programme, the government will commit an additional $3.8m (US$3m) to the Enhanced Technical Co-Operation and Training Package.

These funds will support courses for seafarers on alternative fuels, digitalisation, marine casualty investigations and other areas.

Moreover, Singapore, along with ICAO and IMO, will co-develop specialised training programmes for officials and practitioners across both the aviation and maritime sectors.

Finally, a new transport training program will be launched in 2026 for Small Island Developing States to address their aviation and maritime challenges.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

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.
