The civil aviation authorities of Singapore (CAAS) and Japan (JCAB) have agreed to deepen collaboration in air connectivity, sustainable aviation, aviation safety, air traffic management, aviation innovation, and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and advanced air mobility (AAM), to serve rising demand for global air travel which is expected to at least double over the next 20 years.
Recognising the advancement and opportunities in the U-space and AAM sectors, CAAS and JCAB will work together to develop regulations to enable and support the safe integration of UAS and AAM operations with conventional aviation in the Asia-Pacific region.
Singapore and Japan are active members of the Meeting of Asia-Pacific Regulators on AAM and UAS, working alongside 22 other Asia-Pacific States and Administrations to develop AAM and UAS reference materials which will be published by mid-2025.
Last week, CAAS announced that it would require remote identification for UAS from December 2025.
