The ongoing conference, a significant platform for the aviation industry, is centered around the theme of ‘Elevating Global Connectivity.’ It aims to bolster aviation collaboration through global partnerships, foster innovation, promote sustainable air travel, and encourage cultural exchange.
The Forum is a hub for global leaders in the aviation sector, offering unparalleled knowledge exchange and business opportunities in a dynamic and critical economic sector.
Minister Indar and Lt. Col (Ret’d) Field, in collaboration with Rohan Sinanan, Minister of Works and Transport, Trinidad and Tobago, and other representatives from the Caribbean Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Systems (CASSOS), witnessed a significant event - signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between CASSOS and the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia.
This MOU promises promising benefits for the member States of CASSOS, including Guyana, in terms of aviation personnel training, research and development, and other areas of cooperation in this field.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia will bear the financial arrangements to cover expenses for the training programme within the framework of the MOU.
Minister Indar expressed his gratitude, saying, “We are deeply appreciative of the support provided by the Government of Malaysia. This collaboration is a significant step forward for the collective States that make up CASSOS, and it is something that we truly value.”
He also highlighted the recent amendments to the Civil Aviation Act and the Government of Guyana’s recognition of CASSOS’ work. [Press release]
