SG & Japan in talks to make flying greener between the two countries

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) will work towards improving air connectivity to meet robust air travel demand and make flying greener between the two countries, as per media reports. 

At the 2nd Singapore- Japan Dialogue on Aviation Collaboration, co-chaired by Mr Han Kok Juan, Director-General of CAAS and Mr Onuma Toshiyuki, Senior Deputy Director-General of JCAB, the two authorities agreed to (i) facilitate the resumption of flights and city links; (ii) implement green aviation initiatives; (iii) foster a strong and positive safety culture and (iv) leverage technology to overcome manpower shortage and raise productivity.

The 2nd Singapore-Japan Dialogue on Aviation Collaboration was held on 24 July 2023 in Singapore. It follows the signing of a high-level strategic framework arrangement between CAAS and JCAB in December 2022, which was aimed at spurring collaboration between the two major aviation players of the Asia-Pacific region as they emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
