At IWAF on 19 Sep 9.58am, I announced to the global aviation community that Singapore has acceded to the Montreal Protocol 2014. The new law was passed by Singapore Parliament in Jul. It ensures the safe, secure and efficient operation of commercial flights. Unruly passengers can affect the safety of air travel. According to IATA, between 2007 and 2016, airlines reported more than 58,000 incidents involving unruly passengers on flights, or about one incident every 1,000 flights. Unruly behavior includes assault of other passengers or crew, sexual abuse or harassment, illegal consumption of narcotics, refusal to comply with safety instructions, making threats that could affect the safety of the crew, passengers and aircraft, and other types of disorderly behavior.

Met many people at IWAF 2018. Whether they are officials of ICAO, or delegates from Latin America, South Africa, Canada or Middle East, most expressed appreciation for what Singapore has been doing in the global civil aviation sector. In particular, they found the training opportunities provided by Singapore Aviation Academy useful. I am also glad that fellow Singaporeans have been contributing in different expert groups to tackle various issues facing the industry. Many thanks to these colleagues for flying the 🇸🇬 high. #iwaf2018 #officialtrip #brazil #fortaleza (at Fortaleza, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4sOuhgWH7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18r8v3vp6wsoo
