For several decades, international civil aviation has had to overcome challenges and demonstrate its ability to withstand major shocks and disruptions. This was made possible thanks to the commitment of aviation professionals across the globe, who developed and implemented processes and technical solutions to enhance the resilience of the sector. When there are disruptions to global operations the challengers are system-wide. Measures to build and strengthen resilience in aviation have to support ICAO’s Strategic Objectives in Safety, Air Navigation Capacity and Efficiency, Security & Fac ..read more

The aviation industry serves as a vital catalyst for global socio-economic growth, driving employment, tourism, international trade, and investment. In this fast-paced sector, informed decision-making is paramount. Having access to reliable data is essential for making informed decisions, controlling costs, mitigating risks, and benchmarking performance. For more than a decade, we have been sharing access to snapshots and analysis of economic and aviation indicators through the ICAO Monthly Monitor. This year, we launched an enhanced ICAO Monthly Monitor tool that provides stakeholders who ar ..read more

In addition, ICAO brings together of States to draft and adopt international treaties on issues of global concern such as dealing with unruly and disruptive conduct on board aircraft. ICAO is not an aviation regulator or international law enforcement authority.
In response to the increase in incidents of unruly passenger behavior on international flights being reported by regulators and air ..read more
