Abstract

            This article aims to analyzes the roles and impacts of multilateral collaboration among government, private sector, and aviation educational institutions in promoting and driving Thailand’s aviation industry under the S-curve policy. It links this collaboration to the 20-year National Strategy, the 13th National Social and Economic Development Plan, and relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper analyzes and synthesizes data from academic documents, government policies, and data from the aviation industry, finding that multilateral collaboration is a crucial mechanism for enhancing the capacity for technological development, innovation, and human resources in the aviation sector, as well as promoting supply chain linkages and the innovation ecosystem. These actions align with the national strategy's goals of prosperity and sustainability. However, challenges remain in managing cooperation and systematically monitoring outcomes. The paper proposes guidelines for strengthening and sustaining this cooperation.
