The Diplomat
The State Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) have signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on civil aviation.
The objective of this collaboration is to contribute to the strengthening of Thailand’s civil aviation operations and activities across different disciplines, such as air operations, regulation and supervision of airports and aircraft, and the development of advanced processes for the issuance of licenses and certifications, among others.
The agreement also aims to harmonize regulations and recommended practices in the field of civil aviation worldwide.
These initiatives are aligned with the guidelines established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) within the framework of the Chicago Convention.
In addition to the signing of the agreement, the delegation from the Thai authority, made up of 15 representatives who will travel to the AESA headquarters, will participate in a three-day study visit to learn about the regulatory environment and the operational activities of AESA.
During the first two days, AESA technical staff will provide information sessions and during the third day of the visit, participants will attend information sessions at the headquarters of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, where the airport operator Aena and the airline Iberia Express will give specialized presentations on their activity.
