To promote sharing of aviation security knowledge and expertise globally, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) have agreed to establish the ICAO-Singapore Aviation Security Leadership and Management Seminar (LAMS).
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed recently by Raymond Benjamin, Secretary-General, ICAO, and Mr. Yap Ong Heng, Director-General, CAAS.
This high-level seminar will be developed with ICAO and run by the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), the training arm of CAAS.
It aims to equip senior management of the civil aviation authorities and industry with the knowledge and expertise on aviation security to enable them to effectively carry out their responsibilities as decisionmakers.
The seminar also aims to enhance the states' and industry players' understanding of ICAO aviation security objectives and priorities, international aviation security developments and international best practices.
The seminar is targeted at the senior management of governmental aviation organizations, airport authorities, airlines, other relevant aviation industry organizations, and international aviation organizations.
The seminar will be conducted at SAA, and facilitated by aviation security instructors from ICAO and Singapore. The Seminar is scheduled to have its inaugural run in the third quarter of 2011. |
