Aircraft operators heading to Singapore are facing more scrutiny in the wake of recently enacted regulations. A restriction in place since January requires non-local operators to hold a foreign operator’s permit (FOP) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore in addition to the previously required air operator certificate (AOC), aerial work certificate, or similar authorization from another country.

According to NBAA, the measure is intended to counter the threat of illegal aircraft charter operations in the region, and operators are reporting increased ramp checks to ensure compliance with the new regulation.
