Malaysia launches the first electronic license platform in Southeast Asia for aviation

Kuala Lumpur: The Civil Aviation Authority in Malaysia (CAAM) has launched the first electronic license platform in Southeast Asia for aviation professionals.

Called by E-CAAM Licension Professional Services (Eclipse), this platform allows aviation professionals to renew the licenses and manage applications anytime, anywhere, according to CEO CAAM, Datuk Captain Norazman Mahmud.

Developed entirely inside by CAAM, the platform replaces the need to renew the physical licenses, giving interested parties a completely digital work flow, minimizing manual processes and reducing the transformation time.

“This platform now allows aviation professionals, including pilots, air traffic controllers and aircraft maintenance engineers, in order to manage their licensing requirements with a higher ease and efficiency.”

“This will help ensure that all Malaysian aviation staff maintains valid and updated certifications, including recurrent training, competence checks, medical fitness and English competence.”

“This advance will benefit from CAAM, as well as the wider aviation industry, favoring a greater efficiency and responsibility,” Norazman told the launch event, Tuesday (February 25).

The licensing records within the CAAM have been digitized to improve the accessibility of data and to improve the supervision of the regulations, facilitating the decision -based decisions.

Norazman added that CAAM intends to perfect the platform with future improvements that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI).

“AI -based analytical will allow the predictive monitoring of the license validity, will automate compliance checks and will provide smart information to aviation professionals and regulatory authorities.

“This will even more optimize the efficiency and efficacy of our licensing system, with the final game of digitizing everything in a central data center by 2027,” he said.

The Minister of Transport, Anthony Loke, praised the platform as a step towards the modernization of the country’s aviation sector for better accessibility, transparency and efficiency.

He mentioned that the platform will reduce the conventional licensing process based on paper, which could take up to two weeks, half.

“This will help to solidify the position of the leading malaezia in innovating the aviation regulation, establishing a reference point for other nations in the region.

“The system is also adapted to our local regulatory framework, remaining adaptable to future progress in aviation technology, ensuring the continuity of the business even during the disturbance periods,” said Loke.

Looking forward, Loke has expressed plans to implement a similar electronic license platform for drone consumption in Malaysia.

He said that the electronic license for drones will probably cover commercial and recreational use, following the implementation by the end of this year.

“We plan to have the platform to also provide immediate approval for the use of the drone on the spot for authorized drones instead of the current 14 -day period they have for approval,” he added.
