**Shaping the Future of International Aviation** Since its establishment in 1944, the International Civil Aviation Organization has played a central role in guiding the evolution of international civil aviation. As we enter a transformative era marked by both challenges and opportunities, ICAO has developed a *Long-Term Strategic Plan for 2026-2050* to ensure the orderly growth of global aviation, which I am pleased to Share. This plan comes at a decisive moment. Air traffic is accelerating, requiring enhanced facilitation measures, while new, highly automated aircraft are on the horizon, demanding seamless and safe integration into an increasingly complex airspace. At the same time, security and cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, necessitating proactive and coordinated responses. The clean energy transition also presents an opportunity to reshape aviation’s foundation, moving towards a more sustainable future. As ICAO supports its Member States in maintaining the highest safety and operational standards, we must also anticipate and prepare for the future of air transport. Together, we are committed to ensuring a *safer, more secure, economically viable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable* aviation sector.

If you are an experienced international leader in the areas of aviation security, cybersecurity and facilitation and want to join our team at the International Civil Aviation Organization, please consider applying as Deputy Director, Aviation Security, Cybersecurity and Facilitation

If you are an experienced international leader in the areas of aviation safety monitoring and oversight and want to join our team at the International Civil Aviation Organization please consider applying as Deputy Director, Monitoring, Oversight and Coordination.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced materials is fundamentally transforming air transport. I am pleased to share my contribution to WIPO's newly released Technology Trends report on the Future of Transportation, which examines how these technologies are reshaping aviation's foundations while advancing our dual imperatives: uncompromising safety and environmental sustainability. Today's aviation landscape showcases remarkable technological integration: space-based ADS-B systems complement traditional radar surveillance, while AI and machine learning power everything from predictive maintenance to flight path optimization. Urban air mobility has moved from concept to reality. I invite you to read the report and share your thoughts on which technological developments will have the most transformative impact on the future of transportation. The complete WIPO Technology Trends report, featuring insights from leaders across the mobility sector, is available here: https://lnkd.in/e9GaE3P6 What innovations do you believe will be most crucial for achieving both safer and more sustainable air transport in the coming decades?
