Conclusion

Abstract

ICAO recognizes that aviation is now poised to usher in a twenty-first Century air transport network which will serve as a key enabler of local economic vitality and sustainable development by optimizing global connectivity and this role and responsibility are directly consistent with the Chicago Convention which established ICAO, and a great testament to the vision of its drafters. The ICAO Secretary General goes on to say:” Another important element of this planning is the numbers of skilled young men and women available to operate our technologically, logistically, and politically complex global network. Just this year we hosted our first Global Summit for Next Generation Aviation Professionals and initiated an ICAO Gender Equality Programme. Both of which are now helping to address our future aviation workforce and human development challenges in league with ICAO’s Global Aviation Training office”.
