An Air India passenger jet takes off from Ahmedabad, India, last year. U.S. authorities last month downgraded India's aviation-safety rating.
Training and capacity-building will be key for many countries' aviation sectors amid the rapid growth of air traffic in the Asian-Pacific region in coming years, a United Nations aviation official said.
"We understand this region will need more and more training," said Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, president of the council of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, the United Nations body that oversees global aviation.
Mr. Aliu was speaking during an interview on Tuesday with The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow.
His comments come less than two weeks after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration downgraded India's aviation-safety ranking, citing inadequate oversight by local regulators.
