ICAO - International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO is a specialized UN agency where governments cooperate on international aviation standards and planning ICAO is not a regulator.

ICAO is funded and directed by 193 national governments to support their diplomacy and cooperation in air transport as signatory states to the Chicago Convention (1944). Its core function is to maintain an administrative and expert bureaucracy (the ICAO Secretariat) supporting these diplomatic interactions, and to research new air transport policy and standardization innovations as directed and endorsed by governments through the ICAO Assembly, or by the ICAO Council which the assembly elects. Industry and civil society groups, and other concerned regional and international organizations, also participate. Once governments achieve diplomatic consensus around a new standard’s scope and details, it is then adopted by those same 193 countries in order to bring worldwide alignment to their national regulations, helping to realize safe, secure and sustainable air operations on a truly global basis. ICAO standards contain never supersede the primacy of national regulatory requirements. It is always the local, national regulations which are enforced in, and by, sovereign states, and which must be legally adhered to by air operators making use of applicable airspace and airports. In addition to these core diplomatic and research capabilities, ICAO also conducts educational outreach, develops coalitions, and conducts auditing, training, and capacity building activities worldwide per the needs and priorities governments identify and formalize. Our LinkedIn account provides a venue for professionals to support ICAO’s advocacy for the safe, secure, and sustainable development of aviation, offering resources and a forum for discussion.

How does aviation turn environmental ambitions into practical action? 🌍

From advancing cleaner aviation energies, CORSIA implementation, environmental sustainability across airports and operations, to strengthening noise and emissions standards, improving environmental forecasting and addressing emerging technologies, this work helps shape the measures needed to address aviation's environmental impact. It is undertaken by ICAO's Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP), which brings together technical expertise to support global progress on aviation sustainability.

Last week, around 200 experts from 38 States and 13 International Organizations gathered at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal for the 2026 CAEP Steering Group meeting to advance these efforts and support the development of practical, globally aligned environmental measures.

Under the leadership of Chairperson Maryam Ali Albalooshi and CAEP Secretary Neil Dickson, participants continued to advance the Committee's work programme in support of ICAO's environmental objectives and the sustainable development of international aviation.

As aviation evolves, so must the international legal framework that supports it. New technologies, emerging challenges and the changing needs of the global aviation community continue to shape the development of international air law.

Bringing together legal experts representing Member States and International Organizations, the ICAO Legal Committee is the Organization's permanent legal body, established by the Assembly to advance international air law and help ensure that its legal framework remains responsive and fit for the future.

Its work addresses issues ranging from States' obligations under the Chicago Convention and the ratification of international air law instruments to emerging legal questions surrounding unmanned aircraft, cyber threats, data protection and satellite systems supporting international air navigation.

Here is a look at its 40th Session, which opened today at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, with opening remarks delivered by Council President Toshiyuki Onuma. Learn more about the Legal Committee and its work: https://www.icao.int/events/legal-meetings

Aviation security depends on people who can anticipate emerging threats, adapt to changing risks and turn shared priorities into action.

Throughout in Astana, discussions explored how States, international organizations and industry can strengthen security systems through skilled professionals, a strong security culture and sustained international cooperation.

The final day brought these themes together, with a focus on developing the next generation of aviation security professionals and advancing preparations for the Third High-level Conference on Aviation Security (HLCAS/3).

The challenge ahead is to translate these priorities into effective implementation, ensuring that global aviation security continues to evolve alongside an increasingly complex threat environment.

Thank you to our hosts in Astana and all participants for contributing to the discussions and helping shape the priorities ahead.

What if aviation security could identify a threat before it becomes an incident?

As air cargo supply chains become more interconnected, aviation systems increasingly rely on digital networks, and security conditions in conflict zones change rapidly, anticipating risks is essential to protecting international civil aviation.

On Day 2 of Aviation Security Week in Kazakhstan, discussions focused on how to strengthen security across these evolving challenges.

✈️ Air cargo and mail security: Adapting security arrangements to interconnected supply chains through technology, AI, automated detection, risk-based oversight and secure information exchange.
✈️ Cybersecurity: Strengthening coordination among regulators, airports, airlines, air navigation providers and cyber-response communities as aviation systems become more interconnected.
✈️ Conflict zones: Ensuring timely threat information, sound risk assessment and cooperation between States and industry as operating environments change rapidly.

Across all three areas, a common priority emerged: moving beyond reacting to changes in the risk environment towards stronger risk awareness and more anticipatory decision-making.

Technology is part of the answer, but effective implementation, people and cooperation are equally essential. Sustaining aviation security modernization also means developing the skilled workforce needed to support an evolving security system.

Building a strong future for aviation means investing in the next generation today, creating opportunities for young people to develop their skills, discover their potential and build fulfilling careers in the sector.

As aviation continues to evolve, we need young people bringing fresh perspectives and helping address the challenges ahead. This means opening doors across all areas of aviation, from technical and operational roles to communications, legal affairs, sustainability and beyond.

At ICAO, internship opportunities allow young professionals to gain hands-on experience in an international environment, develop valuable skills and contribute to the work that supports the global aviation system, while taking meaningful steps towards their future careers.

The application deadline is fast approaching for a Digital Marketing and Communications Internship at our Headquarters. Learn more and apply here: https://estm.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_3001/job/37376

When an aircraft accident occurs, how do we support the people and families whose lives are affected?

Effective assistance depends on clear communication, coordinated action and practical support, backed by strong frameworks and cooperation.

Strengthening regional cooperation and preparedness helps States put these measures into practice, so victims and their families can receive the support they need when it matters most.

That is why ICAO, with the support of the Government of Spain, brought together State representatives, industry stakeholders and family associations from the North American, Central American and Caribbean region this week for the Seminar on Assistance to Aircraft Accident Victims and Their Families.

Through the exchange of knowledge and best practices, participants explored State responsibilities, crisis communication and operational response, while working through practical challenges using real-world examples and scenario-based exercises.

For many travellers, aviation security is most visible at the airport checkpoint. But an effective aviation security system extends much further. It depends on effective oversight, skilled personnel, a strong security culture and coordination across the aviation community, all while adapting to evolving threats.

These priorities are at the heart of ICAO Security Week 2026, which opened today in Astana, Kazakhstan, with remarks by ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar.

Under the theme "Secure Skies in a Complex World: Advancing Security in Aviation for All," the event brings together States, international organizations, industry leaders and aviation security experts to address current and emerging challenges and strengthen global aviation security and resilience through international cooperation.
