The Aircraft Accident Crisis Preparedness and Management course took place from 21 February to 2 March 2011 at the Singapore Aviation Academy. The course was attended by 17 participants from 16 countries from the South East Asia, Africa, Middle East and Pacific Islands regions.

Over the course duration of eight days, participants immersed themselves in the programme to gain a better understanding of the responses involved in dealing with aviation crisis. Through a series of lectures, interactive workshops and site visits, participants learnt about the planning and preparation processes in aircraft accident crisis operations, media relations in the midst of crisis, and accident investigation procedures.

Mr Lahcen Boulahcen, Safety and Security Coordinator from the General Civil Aviation Authority of Morocco, said in his speech at the Closing Ceremony on 2 March 2011 that he and his fellow course participants were now "armed with the information and knowledge gleaned from the instructors", and they have a clearer understanding about dealing with such crisis.
