A delegation from the Arab Civil Aviation Organization, headed by His Excellency Engineer Abdennebi Manar, Director General of the Organization, participated in the preparatory meeting for the Third ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels, which was held at the headquarters of the International Civil Aviation Organization on September 25 and 26, 2023 in Montreal, Canada.

The event aimed to hold consultations between States, regional organizations and industry on potential outcomes of the Third ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels, as well as pave the way for discussions on an ICAO global framework for clean energy in aviation. It is also an occasion for the convergence of views on a number of issues, and the identification of remaining differences in views.

In an effort to unify positions among Arab countries, the Arab Civil Aviation Organization organized a coordination meeting on September 24 at ICAO headquarters, in the presence of representatives of Arab countries at the ICAO Council and the head of the organization’s Environment Committee. Representatives of Arab countries and the Arab Air Transport Association also participated in this meeting via video communication technology.
