How does CAAS ensure the
development and success
of airlines?
 By being fast and efficient, thus signing
many ASAs with other countries including
Open Skies Agreement

 Ensures local airlines have first mover

advantage especially SIA

 SIA can then quickly start routes to build

up its brand to gain customer loyalty

 Have active discussions with airlines to

know their needs
• CAAS and Indonesian CAA have been working
together the last few months on a newly expanded
bilateral agreement.

• To CAAS's credit, Singapore signed an Open Skies

Agreement with the USA, a first for an Asian nation!
Strengths and weaknesses
in what CAAS does in
working with airlines
Strengths
• Flexible regulator

• Supportive regulator

• Extended a S$130 million

relief package during the 2008
Financial crisis
Weaknesses
• Prides itself as a regulator that
fosters competition but that
remains to be seen

• Routes with a single operator,

example Singapore to Russia,
incumbent can charge expensive
fares
Where is Aeroflot Airlines?
Recommendations on
how CAAS can better
develop and contribute
to airlines' success
 Support Singapore carriers on the
international arena.
 For example, SIA’s failed attempts
for traffic rights on Australia to USA
routes.
 Should help them on their quests for
success in the world stage through
their might as a regulator.
