The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and DFS Aviation Services have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together on a variety of air traffic management (ATM)-related activities.

DFS Aviation Services, which is the commercial subsidiary of the German air navigation service provider DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, and CAAS will collaborate to further optimize safety management systems and benchmark performance indicators. The entities will also develop “future air traffic management concepts, solutions and technologies.”

“This collaboration is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance ATM safety and efficiency in our busy skies,” says Kevin Shum, Director-General of CAAS.

“Asia is one of the fastest growing air transport regions in the world today. This MoU will enable our organizations to explore and develop more innovative solutions to accommodate aviation growth.”

Klaus-Dieter Scheurle, Chairman and CEO of DFS, adds, “we welcome the collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore. Singapore is a central hub in Asia. The German airspace is among the busiest and most complex airspaces in Europe. I am convinced that we will be able to mutually and viably share our experiences gained.”
