The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and the Singapore chapter of Women in Aviation (WAI-SG) signed a memorandum of understanding that seeks to promote aviation-centric experiential activities for young women in a bid to increase the number of women in the aviation sector.

Signed on Thursday, 10th October, the MoU seeks to show those of the younger generation the diverse range of opportunities available for women in aviation. The memorandum was signed by CAAS director-general Han Kok Juan and WAI-SG president Lou-Ann Seet.

This agreement also entails the creation of initiatives geared towards encouraging young women interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to apply these skills to the aviation industry.

Training a new generation of leaders

A joint statement from CAAS and WAI-SG said the pact will promote aviation as a career for girls and young women and to develop the next generation of female aviation leaders.

At the same time, Singapore transport minister Chee Hong Tat said of this new understanding: “We want the younger generation to continue seeing aviation as an exciting sector, and ensure that our next generation of aviation enthusiasts are equipped with the necessary skills,” he said, adding that the aviation workforce is a critical factor to the industry’s success.
