COLOGNE/SINGAPORE, December 4, 2020 – The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS) have updated their bilateral Working Arrangement to facilitate CAAS’ validation of EASA aircraft type certifications.
The amendment to the Working Arrangement on Airworthiness Certification will allow the two regulators to collaborate on facilitating aviation innovations, such as electric-vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. With immediate effect, CAAS will be able to validate EASA design approvals concurrently and in close coordination with EASA’s type certification process. It will help aviation companies in Singapore to innovate and benefit from rapidly developing aviation technologies.
“This amendment is testament to the excellent relations in aviation between Europe and Singapore. It further extends the trust we have in each other’s aviation system and our strong working relationship with CAAS,” said EASA Executive Director, Patrick Ky.
