Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday
Five Southeast Asian nations said Thursday they had agreed to share aviation data and information among themselves, including reports of severe turbulence, to help make air travel safer.
The agreement comes as air travel recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, which hammered tourism in the region. “In a first-of-its kind initiative in the Asia-Pacific, the five States will collaborate and share de-identified safety data and safety information to identify safety hazards and trends and develop mitigating measures to better manage safety risks,“ the joint statement said.
Reports of severe air turbulence, windshear, bird strikes and the carriage of dangerous goods are also to be shared.
