Enhancing aviation safety, security, economic development and environmental sustainability.

 

The Mission of the ICAO is to lead international civil aviation as a key driver of social and economic development while enhancing aviation safety, security, economic development and environmental sustainability for a growing aviation system by advancing air law, developing policies, plans and standards, monitoring and auditing, and supporting States’ capabilities for the benefit of all nations and people. ICAO provides a leadership role and forum for all matters relating to international civil aviation, which Member States and the wider aviation community expect, particularly in times of major challenges when international leadership is needed. In the spirit of leaving no country behind, ICAO consistently responds to the needs of Member States by delivering services and support where required. This includes, to the extent of its mandate, resource mobilization and capacity building, often in partnership with other institutions and collaborators. ICAO provides multiple instruments and services to Member States in several shapes and forms, including the internationallaw instruments and regulatory frameworks necessary to underpin effective member state implementation of standards, recommended practices and guidance material that takes into account the socio-economic benefit for all Member States. Our mission is supported by our three main processes of work: policy development and standard setting, monitoring and auditing, and implementation support.
