CAAS unveils Singapore’s national aviation safety plan

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) unveiled Singapore’s National Aviation Safety Plan (2025-27) to strengthen aviation safety as Singapore’s air passenger volume hits record levels and is expected to grow strongly in the coming years.

National Aviation Safety Plan (2025-27) identifies the safety challenges in Singapore’s aviation sector, particularly: a) operational safety risks, for example on runways; b) emerging risks, for example those associated with manpower constraints and Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Frequency Interference; and c) the integration of new and emerging technologies into the aviation eco-system.

To address these challenges, the National Aviation Safety Plan sets out 45 actions the sector will take along four priority areas: a) to holistically improve operational safety, through infrastructure improvements, systems integration, and proactive risk management; b) to review and develop new policies and rules to support industry growth and innovation without compromising safety; c) to strengthen safety management and culture, through
closer tripartite partnership and stronger safety management systems; and d) to develop human capital, to ensure and sustain safe operations.
