Address Aviation's environmental concerns, primarily CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.

 

EURONAT

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) addresses aviation's environmental concerns, primarily climate change (CO2 and non-CO2 emissions) and aircraft noise, through global standards, technological innovation (SAF, cleaner tech), operational improvements (flight paths), and market-based measures like CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting & Reduction Scheme for International Aviation), aiming for net-zero by 2050 via initiatives like State Action Plans and research on contrails.

Responsible and strategic integration of artificial intelligence in civil aviation.

Image
  Artificial intelligence (AI) is seeing rapid advancements and increasing adoption across many industries, including aviation, with applications ranging from predictive maintenance to safety oversight, air traffic management and operational decision support. These technologies offer transformative potential but also raise new challenges relating to oversight and accountability, ethics and equality of access, and consistent safety outcomes and automation dependency, particularly when AI operates on probabilistic or opaque logic. This paper proposes that ICAO take a leading role in studying, standardising and adapting the safety applications of artificial intelligence in aviation. Action: The Assembly is invited to request the ICAO Council to: a) establish a structured collaboration platform with UN bodies, standards organizations, industry, and academia to identify aviation-specific risks, use cases, and ethical concerns; b) conduct a global scoping study on current AI applications...

Focus on the Risk management elements in the Aviation Industry.

  RISK REGISTER.  It is highly recommended to create and maintain a Risk Register, containing the relevant risk information for each of the identified scenarios. This risk register should be reviewed regularly as part of the business continuity process.  RISK ASSESSMENT.  Risk is commonly defined as a combination (product) of likelihood and impact of an event. This is also the case in a contingency context. In contrast to common (economic) risk assessments, where likelihood and impact are equally weighted, contingency situations have some particularities. Contingency situations, fortunately, have a low occurrence likelihood. Humans are known to have problems dealing probabilistic events, especially with low likelihood events. In addition to these low base rates, the impact variation can be very high, and the impact mechanisms are often not very well understood. For this last group of scenarios, further research is necessary to enable better risk contingency risk asse...

Artificial Intelligence contribution to Aviation.

Image
  This information paper provides an overview of the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in theaviation sector , with the aim of supporting informed dialogue among States and stakeholders. It seeks to clarify the definition of AI , address common misconceptions, and provide a balanced perspective on its current and potential impact. The paper presents the state of the art in AI technologies, outlining both the opportunities and challenges they pose for civil aviation. It reviews the current applications of AI across various domains, including aircraft operations, air traffic management, maintenance, and customer services, and offers a prospective view on how these technologies may evolve. Recognizing the importance of safety and trust in aviation, the paper also explores considerations related to the certification of AI systems, including the scope and potential limitations of existing approaches. Finally, the paper proposes a way forward within the ICAO framework, enco...
