#ICAO80 in Photos 📸 The First Session of ICAO Assembly was held in Montréal, Canada, from 6 to 27 May 1947. It brought together representatives from various countries to lay the groundwork for aviation standards, regulations, and cooperation among nations in the aftermath of World War II. What is the ICAO Assembly? The ICAO Assembly is the highest decision-making body of the International Civil Aviation Organization. It usually meets once every three years and is composed of representatives from all ICAO Member States. It serves as a forum for discussing key issues concerning international civil aviation, including safety, air navigation, environmental sustainability, and regulatory standards. Besides reviewing topical Working papers and major issues, Assemblies also elect the ICAO Council States and establish ICAO's budget and work programme for three-year periods. It does this by adopting Resolutions and by taking appropriate action on the reports of the Council and any matters reported to it by the Council. The 42nd Assembly will take place in the fall of 2025.

In a significant regulatory action, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) has fined Air Canada $250,000 for operating flights over prohibited Iraqi airspace. This penalty underscores the stringent measures in place to ensure aviation safety and compliance with international airspace regulations. The violations occurred between October 2022 and January 2023. During this period, Air Canada operated flights through restricted Iraqi airspace under its codeshare agreement with United Airlines. The USDOT's jurisdiction in this matter stems from the fact that these flights carried United Airlines' designator code, thereby implicating both airlines in the breach of airspace restrictions. #Airport #Airline #Canada #AirCanada #UnitedAirlines #USDOT #AviationIndustry #AviationOasis https://lnkd.in/enMUKV-A

Senators urge pilot retirement age rise as experience leads to fewer accidents In the letter published on November 20, 2024, lead signee Senator Marsha Blackburn and her colleagues said that data supported the argument that “experienced pilots have fewer accidents than junior pilots”. According to the letter, the ICAO recently “advanced formal action directed at raising or even eliminating the institution’s recommended pilot retirement age of 65 years” at the 14th Air Navigation Conference.

In a written statement to Parliament, the UK Foreign Secretary (David Lammy) has announced the suspension of certain export licences to Israel. “around 30” of the 350 export licences granted to Israel have been suspended including aircraft components and components that facilitate air to ground targeting. Lammy emphasised that this “is not a blanket ban” nor is it “an arms embargo” and the government will continually review its position. The UK’s Export Control Joint Unit (“ECJU”) has published a notice summarising the licences suspended and the impact on exporters, who will be contacted by the ECJU to confirm the decision. The ECJU has also amended the following open general licences: open general export licence (exports in support of Joint Strike Fighter: F-35 Lightning II); open general export licence PCBs and components for military goods; open general export licence technology for military goods; open general export licence software and source code for military goods; open general trade control licence for category C goods; and open general trade control licence trade and transportation: small arms and light weapons. Licences unaffected by the suspension include those for items not used by the Israeli Defence Forces in the current Israel-Gaza conflict (e.g. training equipment) and for items for civilian use. #Sanctions #Russia #EUCommission #ExportControl #TradeWar #TSECS #SanctionsUpdate #TurkishSociety #Sanctions #USA #OFAC #BIS #TradeUpdates #GlobalTrade #TradeCompliance #InternationalRelations #EconomicSanctions #TradeRegulations #TurkishExports #TradePolicy #SecurityMatters #ForeignPolicy #ComplianceNews #EconomicSecurity #CrossBorderBusiness

Pro-Iranian Groups' Actions in Iraq & Syria Amid US Iraq Withdrawal Over 2025/2026: Analysis by ICD Domain GenAI In light of public reporting by Reuters on 6 Sep. 2024 that an agreement has been reached between the US and Iraq for a complete withdrawal from Iraq by the end of 2026 with a significant reduction in 2025, IntelCenter asked its ICD Domain GenAI what actions pro-Iranian groups in Iraq and Syria are likely to take based on its extensive knowledge of their messaging. It broke out its assessment for the following periods: the remainder of 2024, 2025 and then 2026 pre and post withdrawal. Executive Summary: Pro-Iranian groups are set to capitalize on the announced US withdrawal from Iraq, employing a multi-phased strategy to consolidate their influence. For the remainder of 2024, they will intensify propaganda, organize public demonstrations, and conduct low-level attacks to maintain pressure and ensure adherence to the withdrawal timeline. In 2025, they will escalate targeted attacks, bolster recruitment, and maneuver politically to secure a favorable post-withdrawal environment. As the final withdrawal date in 2026 approaches, they will emphasize victory narratives, issue threats against delays, and prepare to fill power vacuums. Post-withdrawal, these groups will focus on eliminating residual US influence, entrenching their political power, and demonstrating effective governance to solidify their position as the dominant force in Iraq.

India’s #helicopter sector is set for significant growth as the Ministry of Civil Aviation unveils new #plans to enhance the industry’s operational and #service capabilities. At the recent Heli Power India 2024 conference, Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu proposed developing a #network of over 50 Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) units along #national highways and expressways, aiming to make #helicopters a critical part of India’s healthcare #infrastructure. This #initiative would enable rapid airlifts for patients in remote areas, drastically reducing response times and expanding access to quality #healthcare—an opportunity Edge Aviation is excited to support by offering #safe, reliable air ambulance #services. Additionally, the Ministry is establishing a #helicopter accelerator cell to streamline regulatory processes and support the sector’s #growth. The accelerator will simplify decision-making and gather industry expertise, benefiting operators like Edge Aviation by enhancing #efficiency and ensuring higher standards in #commercial and #emergency helicopter operations. The creation of dedicated helicopter corridors and a regulatory #framework specifically for helicopters marks another major #step forward. This will reduce delays, #enhance safety, and simplify the complex air traffic systems currently navigated by helicopter operators. For Edge Aviation, these #developments mean improved access to airspace, faster permit approvals, and a smoother, more predictable service for our #clients. “Edge Aviation views these government initiatives as game-changers for the helicopter industry, paving the way for growth in emergency response, healthcare, and private charters. We’re ready to lead in this evolving landscape and are committed to delivering excellence in helicopter services that enhance connectivity and accessibility across India.” Shweta Salunkhe Co-founder, Edge Aviation.

[FREE TO READ] "Fume events" are underreported, with a spokesperson for the Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) explaining that dangerous and potentially deadly #fumes on aircraft, especially older planes, are a much bigger problem than anyone realises. “The AFAP would like to see the Civil Aviation Safety Authority take this issue more seriously, including insisting that high-grade air filters be made mandatory for all commercial airliners flying in Australia, and that bleed air systems are redesigned in future aircraft. We should also see appropriate and accurate testing of fumes in aircraft cabins.” Fume events are the result of the long-term design flaw that sees bleed air mixed into cabin air across most aircraft makers, including Boeing and Airbus ... After a fume event on a Qantas National Jet Systems #B717 last year, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau found that airborne contaminants “may result in the rapid onset of incapacitation, which although possibly subtle, can significantly affect the safety of flight”. “Contaminants from bleed air may be being inhaled unknowingly. It’s in the interest of aircrews and passengers that operators take this issue seriously and look for ways of mitigation — but that means spending money.” “The union is calling for aircraft to be refitted with total air filtration and stop using #bleedair that is run over engines.” Global Cabin Air Quality Executive (www.gcaqe.org)- Susan Michaelis PhD, MSc, ATPL, IOSH, IIRSM - IFALPA - Flight Attendants' Association of Australia (FAAA) - IFALPA #pilots #cabincrew #airlinecrew #cabinairfilter #aerotoxicsyndrome #airlines #fumes  #cabinairquality

✈️ 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗢, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗢! The forerunner to ICAO was the International Commission for Air Navigation (ICAN) The Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, in Chicago, was signed by 52 countries on 7 December 1944. Under its terms, a 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗔𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗢) was to be established, to be replaced in turn by a permanent organization when twenty-six countries ratified the convention. 𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗢 began operating on 𝟲 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟵𝟰𝟱, replacing 𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡. The 26th country ratified the convention on 5 March 1947 and, consequently, PICAO was disestablished on 4 April 1947 and replaced by 𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗢, which began operations the same day. In October 1947, 𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗢 became an agency of the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗢𝗖).
