Singapore renews LACAC deal to boost Latin American training

Under the agreement, AAS will offer 75 fellowships over the next three years for aviation professionals from LACAC’s 22 member states.

Singapore and the Latin American Civil Aviation Commission (LACAC) have renewed their partnership to strengthen civil aviation training in the Latin American region.

The new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Ng Tee Chiou, Deputy Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), and Ingrid Azucena Zelaya Florian, President of LACAC and Director General of Guatemala’s Civil Aviation Authority.

Under the agreement, CAAS will offer 75 fellowships over the next three years for aviation professionals from LACAC’s 22 member states.

The fellowships will fund participation in specialised training courses at the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), focusing on aviation safety, security, air traffic services, and aviation management.

Additionally, CAAS will conduct three in-region training programmes tailored to the needs of Latin American aviation authorities.

The enhanced MoU also introduces three new initiatives. First, three scholarships will be awarded to young aviation professionals aged 35 and below under the Singapore-ICAO Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) programme.

These recipients will take part in a six-week programme in Singapore combining classroom training, industry attachment, and mentorship.

Second, the ICAO-SAA Directors-General of Civil Aviation Programme will be held in Latin America for the first time.

Third, the agreement includes high-level and staff exchange opportunities to encourage ongoing dialogue and collaboration.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
