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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
