ARISE Plus Civil Aviation Project

Supporting the development of the ASEAN Single Aviation Market

ASEAN is embarking on the development of an ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASAM) and an ASEAN-EU air transport agreement is being negotiated. The opportunities that these changes bring however also bring challenges.

  • Improve regulatory capability and safety standards through use of existing initiatives and alignment with ICAO standards and recommended practices;
  • Establish a mechanism to facilitate the mutual recognition of approvals, certificates and licences;
  • Strengthen the capacities of individual ASEAN Member States and align measures with ICAO standards and recommended practices;
  • Enhance air traffic management efficiency and capacity through the development and implementation of an ASEAN Air Traffic Management (ATM) Master Plan with the aim of achieving a seamless ASEAN sky;
  • Strengthen ASEAN-EU cooperation in air transport, including discussions on the possible comprehensive ASEAN-EU Agreement on Air Transport.
