An opportunity to reshape aviation’s foundation, moving towards a more environmentally friendly future.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been shaping the international civil aviation sector since its establishment in 1944. As we enter a new era marked by unprecedented challenges and opportunities, ICAO has developed a comprehensive Long Term Strategic Plan for 2026-2050 that aims at the orderly growth of international aviation, guiding our efforts in leading the sector toward a more safe, secure,economically viable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable aviation sector. This Strategic Plan comes at a decisive moment for international civil aviation. Traffic growth has resumed and is forecast to accelerate. This will also increase facilitation challenges to manage this growth. While ICAO continues to support Member States in their ongoing efforts to comply with current international standards, it is important to anticipate and prepare for the world that lies ahead. New types of highly automated aircraft are approaching entry into service, necessitating their safe integration into an already complex airspace environment. This integration, alongside the projected growth in air traffic, presents new safety, security and cybersecurity challenges that must be addressed. As the world embarks on a clean energy transition triggered by climate change, The Strategic Plan presents an opportunity to reshape aviation’s foundation, moving towards a more environmentally friendly future.
