The third International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3) will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates as an in-person event with hybrid capabilities from 20 to 24 November 2023.

The aim of CAAF/3 is to review the 2050 ICAO Vision for SAF, including LCAF and other cleaner energy sources for aviation, in order to define an ICAO global framework in line with the No Country Left Behind (NCLB) initiative and taking into account national circumstances and capabilities.

CAAF/3 will bring together high-level officials from States who will have the authority to make policy-related decisions, as well as international organizations with direct involvement in aviation cleaner energy, that are invited to participate as Observers.

ICCAIA members interested in participating should contact dcarnelly@iccaia.org for further information.

The ICAO Air Navigation World 2023-ATM Procedures for Today will take place from 23 to 27 October 2023 at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Singapore. This event will facilitate global ATM implementation by providing focused knowledge sharing of PANS-ATM procedures in a practical how-to manner.

Discussions will focus on current technologies and procedures to support the evolution of ATM to meet the expectations of the aviation community, with an eye on the future, and in line with the long-term global aspirational goal for international aviation of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

ICCAIA members interested in participating should contact nbrooks@iccaia.org for further information.

ICAO Air Navigation World 2023 will take place from 28 to 31 August 2023 at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal under the theme “Shaping the Skies of Tomorrow: Addressing Key Issues and Technologies in Air Navigation and Safety.”

Discussions will focus on the future technologies and procedures to support the evolution of the aviation system to meet the expectations of the aviation community, including the Long-Term Global Aspirational Goal for international aviation of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This event will also be the opportunity to have an open dialogue on operational and implementation challenges of air navigation and safety solutions by all stakeholders.

ICCAIA members interested in participating should contact nbrooks@iccaia.org for further information.

ICAO’s Second Global Aviation Gender Summit 2023 will take place from 5 to 7 July 2023 in Madrid, Spain.

Hosted by the Dirección General de Aviación Civil (DGAC) of Spain and co-organized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the event will gather Directors General of Civil Aviation, senior officials and policymakers in civil aviation authorities, academia and industry stakeholders to reflect on ways to improve gender equality and women empowerment in global aviation. ICCAIA is looking forward to speaking at the event alongside industry experts and senior government repesentatives.

ICAO Innovation Fair will take place from 24 to 26 September 2022 at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal under the theme “Innovation for Enhanced Resilience in International Civil Aviation.”

States and industry representatives will be invited to exchange on the challenges, benefits and opportunities presented by innovations as well as on the experiences with their uptake and implementation. The panels will focus on the role of innovation in supporting ICAO’s Strategic Objectives and addressing innovation from an Aviation Security and Facilitation perspective. An in-person exhibition at ICAO headquarters will also showcase a range of new technologies and ideas that are being applied.

Announcing the summer 2022 edition of the ICCAIA/AAIS Asia Briefing, focusing on environment and sustainability with experts from across the aviation sector giving their views on the regulatory landscape and technical solutions.

The need for the HLM-LTAG stems from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly Resolution A40-18, paragraph 9, which requested the Council to explore the feasibility of LTAG, and for the progress of the work to be presented to the 41st Session of the ICAO Assembly.

The HLM-LTAG will be invited to discuss the CO2 emissions reduction scenarios and options for a goal, along with the means of implementation and the monitoring of progress, before concluding with recommendations.

ICCAIA will participate alongside industry partners, in close coordination through the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG).

This event will build upon the success of the 2021 ICAO Stocktaking, which provided a forum for stakeholders to exchange ambitious plans for decarbonizing international aviation, including discussions on policies and concrete roadmaps to zero emissions. The 2021 event was inspired by green innovations brought forward through the ICAO Global Coalition for Sustainable Aviation, which serves as a forum of stakeholders within and beyond the aviation sector to facilitate the development of new ideas and accelerate the implementation of solutions that will further reduce aviation emissions at source, on the ground or in the sky

ICCAIA is participating in the 57th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Region, being held in Incheon, Republic of Korea. A paper will be presented that previews many of ICCAIA’s priorities in innovation and resilience for the 41st General Assembly.
