The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Entry Point North (EPN) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on air traffic services training. The agreement, signed on 26 May 2026 by CAAS Director-General Han Kok Juan and EPN CEO Anne Kathrine Jensen, aims to address the growing need for air traffic controllers as projected by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
With global air passenger volume expected to nearly triple over the next 25 years, the partnership seeks to enhance training capabilities through instructor exchanges, digital learning, AI-enabled simulation, and joint course development. The collaboration will also explore commercial opportunities in Southeast Asia and other regions.
Han Kok Juan stated, “This partnership with Entry Point North will help CAAS strengthen our training capabilities and enhance the training of our air traffic controllers as we ramp up recruitment to meet rising demand for air travel.” Anne Kathrine Jensen added, “This MOU creates a clear framework for how we can collaborate with CAAS on ATS training and related services.”
The initiative is set to promote best practices in aviation training, ensuring safe and efficient development within the industry. As air travel demand increases, this collaboration is poised to play a crucial role in preparing the next generation of air traffic controllers.
