The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) have signed a Technical Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in civil aviation. The MoU, though non-binding, outlines a commitment by both authorities to work together on developing and modernising aviation systems while improving operational efficiency. It also seeks to enhance aviation safety and reinforce regulatory frameworks through joint initiatives.
The signing took place on the sidelines of the 42nd General Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), held in Montreal, Canada, from September 23 to October 3, 2025. GCAA Director General Lt Col (Ret’d) Egbert Field and CAAS Director General Han Kok Juan signed the agreement on behalf of their respective agencies. Under the arrangement, the two authorities will establish a framework for technical cooperation, focusing on knowledge exchange and best practices in areas such as safety management, regulatory oversight, and training. The MoU also allows for collaboration in human resources management and the economic regulation of air transport. Singapore’s Civil Aviation Authority is widely regarded as a leader in aviation training, with advanced facilities that include simulators and modern classrooms. Over the years, Guyana has benefited from training opportunities, scholarships, and fellowships provided through CAAS, which have supported the professional development of GCAA personnel across multiple aviation disciplines.
The new agreement is expected to expand these opportunities while deepening cooperation between the two countries in the aviation sector.
