The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) is collaborating with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to develop a comprehensive Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP).
This plan aims to enhance the country’s aviation sector by aligning it with global standards for safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
The CAMP is designed as a strategic blueprint to tackle critical challenges in the Philippine aviation industry while also capitalizing on opportunities for growth and innovation.
As part of this initiative, high-level sessions involving CAAP and other stakeholders will be facilitated by EASA from January 21 to 23, 2025. These sessions are part of the EU-ASEAN Sustainable Connectivity Package (SCOPE) Aviation Partnership Project (APP), a flagship EU initiative focused on improving air transport connectivity, safety, and sustainability across ASEAN member states and the EU.
This platform will be vital for outlining objectives, addressing sector challenges, and developing a shared vision for a more sustainable aviation industry.
The CAAP will be supported by eight aviation experts to tailor the master plan specifically to the Philippine context. This engagement marks a significant milestone for Philippine aviation, as it aims to enhance connectivity and safety while establishing the country as a regional model for sustainability and resilience.
This initiative highlights the CAAP’s commitment to building strategic partnerships that yield long-lasting benefits for the industry, travelers, and the broader economy.
By strengthening the nation’s aviation infrastructure and capabilities, the CAAP intends to position the Philippines as a premier hub for safe, efficient, and sustainable air transport in the ASEAN region.
