Singapore and China Ink Technical Pact on Maintenance
Singapore and China strengthen their cooperation through a new maintenance license agreement.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has signed a landmark deal with China that will allow the streamlining of maintenance licensing provisions, the agency announced Wednesday. Dubbed the Technical Arrangement on Aviation Maintenance (TA-AM) agreement, the deal aims to reduce the time and cost involved in reciprocal license recognition and surveillance of approved maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations located in China and Singapore. Both sides inked the agreement on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 56th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Region in Kathmandu, Nepal.
