Taking place from 16 to 20 November at ICAO HQ in Montréal, Canada, ATConf/7 will be held under the theme “Air Transport: Powering Global Connectivity, Economic Development and Resilience in a Dynamic World”, and will provide a global forum for Member States and key stakeholders to engage in strategic dialogue on the future of international air transport. In this context, the conference will seek, inter alia to:

1) Advance economic regulatory frameworks to adapt to evolving market trends and technologies by leveraging data;

2) Enhance industry resilience by addressing workforce, supply chain, market access, emergency response gaps and consumer protection;

3) Mobilize blended financing to support civil aviation infrastructure;

4) Shape economic policy foundations for innovation and emerging technologies;

5) Strengthen institutional and human capacity; and

6) Enable sustainable and inclusive growth in air transport.

ATConf/7 will bring together senior officials from Member States with the requisite authority to address policy-related matters, as well as international and regional organizations, such as ICCAIA, actively engaged in the economic development of air transport, that are invited to participate in the conference as Observers.

From 2 to 4 November 2026, the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA) and the International Association for Green Aviation (IAGA) will co-organize the 4th International Conference on Green Aviation (ICGA 2026) in Xi’an, China.

This annual event brings together international organizations, educational and research institutions, companies, authorities, and aviation professionals to raise climate change awareness, exchange cutting-edge research on green aviation, and foster cross-border collaboration — all in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ICAO’s Long-Term Global Aspirational Goal (LTAG).

The conference programme will cover key green aviation topics, including a dedicated session moderated by ICCAIA and focused on strategies and actions taken by aviation OEMs to reduce carbon emissions.

To maximize visibility and engagement, sponsorship and exhibition packages are available for interested stakeholders. These offer valuable networking opportunities and brand exposure.

Date: 14 – 15 October 2026 | Location: Montreal, CANADA | Venue: ICAO HQ,999 Robert-Bourassa Boulevard

Building on the momentum generated by the First Joint ICAO/ACI/IATA Symposium on Accessibility held in Montréal, Canada, in December 2024, and recognizing accessibility as a strategic pillar of the global aviation system, the 42nd ICAO Assembly reaffirming that facilitation must also ensure dignity, non-discrimination, and protection of vulnerable and at risk travelers, including persons with disabilities and reduced mobility, including passengers with non-visible disabilities, the 2026 Symposium will provide a forum for States, industry, international organizations, and civil society to advance dialogue and commitment to implementation of accessibility measures across the entire air transport journey.

Under the Theme: “Advancing Global Commitment to Inclusive and Universally Accessible Air Transport for All”, the Symposium will examine progress achieved since the first global gathering, identify persistent barriers, and support States in implementing harmonized, end to end solutions in line with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices, particularly Annex 9 — Facilitation and relevant ICAO guidance material. The Symposium contributes toward achieving ICAO Assembly Resolution A42-14 and ICAO Strategic Goal “Aviation Delivers Seamless, Accessible and Reliable Mobility for All.

Date: 12 – 15 October 2026 | Location: Kotor, Montenegro | Venue: Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort

Hosted by the International Federation of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Associations (IFATSEA) under the theme “Global CNS Week: Advancing Technology for Safer, Smarter Air Navigation”, the symposium will serve as a global forum to share knowledge on the latest developments in Communications, Navigation, Surveillance and Spectrum (CNSS), and to address the challenges facing aviation today.

The second episode of the ICCAIA Webinar Series will focus on Protecting Aviation Spectrum and will take place in the fall 2026 (date to be confirmed).

More details on the agenda and the speakers will be shared shortly.

This event will take place in person from 5 to 9 October 2026, at ICAO HQ in Montréal, Canada. Its focus will be on the rollout of the new ICAO provisions related to ATFM envisaged to be applicable in November 2030.

Hosted by the Guyana CAA from 29 to 30 September, the joint ICAO/EASA Third Global RSOO and RAIO Forum for Aviation Safety will allow representatives of RSOOs/RAIOs, Member States, international organizations, industry and ICAO to have substantive conversations on regional cooperation in aviation safety and accident and incident investigations, and how it contributes to improving Member States’ safety oversight/investigative capabilities, ultimately enhancing global aviation safety.

The Forum will serve as a high-level platform to exchange experiences, discuss emerging challenges, and identify strategic priorities, reaffirming the essential role of regional cooperation in strengthening safety oversight and accident investigation. Discussions will include the contributions of regional mechanisms in supporting States’ oversight and accident investigation obligations and the resources required to ensure their continued sustainability. The Forum will also focus on enhancing collaboration among RSOOs and RAIOs, States, and industry stakeholders, and on identifying practical measures to secure the long-term viability of safety oversight and accident and incident investigation systems.

ICCAIA will be represented by its member experts and will have an exhibition booth where you can come and meet them. We look forward to participating in this important event!
