CAAT and CAAC Strengthen Thailand–China Cooperation on Airworthiness Certification

On 9 November 2026, representatives from the Airworthiness and Aircraft Engineering Department (AIR) of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) visited the headquarters of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in Beijing to undertake activities related to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Airworthiness Certification Cooperation between the civil aviation authorities of Thailand and China.

The cooperation aims to promote technical collaboration and knowledge exchange in airworthiness certification, including the development of approaches for the acceptance of aircraft type certifications and other related approvals, in accordance with the regulatory frameworks and aviation safety standards of both countries. These efforts are expected to enhance the efficiency of aircraft and aeronautical product certification processes while supporting the development of emerging aviation technologies.

CAAT remains committed to strengthening cooperation with international civil aviation authorities to advance aviation safety standards in line with international requirements, enhance its regulatory capabilities, and support the continued growth of Thailand’s aviation industry.
