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.

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.
