Under the agreement, the CAAP will receive ICAO’s assistance in areas such as aviation safety, capacity and efficiency, security, environmental protection, and economic development through its Capacity Development and Implementation Bureau.

The CAAP’s goal is to build technical capacity and develop the implementation capabilities of the Philippine aviation sector.

CAAP spokesperson Eric Apolonio said the agreement allows the Philippines to benefit from the products, resources, and services of the ICAO, which employs subject matter experts and fully trained instructors and practitioners.

“It will help the Philippines build the aviation professional pool, manage projects, and monitor financial resources. The signing of the agreement will ensure continued progress in the Philippine aviation sector for years to come,” he said.
