The first MOU, signed on September 17 with Dviation Training Centre chief executive officer Ibnu Hidayat Ishak, focuses on cooperation in aviation training and development. The Dviation Group provides comprehensive aviation services including aircraft acquisition, operations, and technical support.
On September 18, Alcazar signed another agreement with ST Engineering Urban Solutions Ltd., represented by its president Gareth Tang, to explore collaboration in developing smart city and aviation technologies at the Clark aviation complex. The initiative aims to support the area’s growth through sustainable and intelligent infrastructure.
On the same day, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Asia Ltd.

Embry-Riddle is globally recognized as one of the world’s largest universities specializing in aviation and aerospace.
“Aviation in Singapore is a key component of its successful economy, and we’re fortunate to forge mutually beneficial relationships with leading institutions here,” CIAC president Arrey Perez Alcazar said.
Alcazar added that the partnerships are aimed at sharing expertise to help establish Clark’s own aviation campus as part of its Seven Flagship Projects.
