Perspective
Established on 1 September 1984, the CAAS regulates civilian air traffic within the airspace jurisdiction of the Republic. It also helps enable the growth of the air hub and aviation industry in Singapore, promotes safe industry practices and engages in civilian air-service agreements with air-service operators. This includes the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as drones and quadcopters by individuals or organisations. The agency also operates the Air Traffic Control Tower, providing air navigation services to ensure faultless movements of civilian aircraft at Singapore's airports and in the Singapore flight information region (FIR).
CAAS supports and controls the Singapore Aviation Academy (est. 1958).
CAAS also issues revenue stamps to pay for the passenger service charge on flights.
In 2009, CAAS updated its logo, positioning, and values with brand consultancy DIA.[5]
In July 2017, CAAS and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) entered into a working arrangement to recognize each other's certifications.[6]
In 2018, CAAS underwent a brand refresh with Tangible, a Singapore-based brand consultancy.[7]
CAAS is led by Director-General Han Kok Juan who assumed this role since 2 August 2021, succeeding Shum Jin-Chyi Kevin who served as the DG from 2015.[3] Han also presides as the returning officer since 2024, with his first election being the 2025 parliamentary election.[8]
