“The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is strengthening its support to member states, particularly through the ‘No Country Left Behind’ initiative, which is a strategic goal.” said Sciacchitano.

“ICAO has received over $25 million in technical assistance funding, enabling more precise support and the development of targeted products and services.”

Sciacchitano said the organisation is also focusing on emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainable aviation fuels to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

“The Global Sustainable Marketplace, a partnership in the UAE, aims to showcase innovative pathways for decarbonisation and sustainable aviation,” he said.
