Thailand names CAA International to meet ICAO norms starting in May
THE Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has appointed CAA International (CAAi), the advisory arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA), to help strengthen CAAT's aviation safety oversight and compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), starting from May.
The CAAi project will involve a team of 10 experts from the UK CAA to work with CAAT to recertify Thai registered AOCs, to address the Significant Safety Concern (SSC) raised by ICAO in 2015, a statement said.
CAAi will also conduct on-the-job flight operations training to CAAT Inspectors, to help increase their core inspectorate competencies in accordance with international standards. The final work stream includes full-scale ICVM preparation assistance.
This activity will cover all of ICAO's eight critical elements of a safety oversight system ahead of Thailand's impending ICVM safety audit by ICAO.
Said CAAi managing director Maria Rueda: "With almost 600,000 passengers flying to Thailand from the UK alone in 2014, we are fully committed to assisting CAAT meet international safety standards set by ICAO."
