International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) congratulates the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Chicago Convention, which established ICAO. Since its inception in 1944, ICAO has played a pivotal role in shaping global civil aviation, fostering connectivity, safety, innovation and sustainability.

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) appoints veteran Leo Knaapen as head of the IBAC Industry Partner Programme. Knaapen joined IBAC following his retirement from Bombardier in December 2022, where he was chief of Industry Affairs.

Business-aviation groups put forward a set of policy principles to guide long-term carbon emissions reductions in the lead-up to the 41st International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Triennial Assembly convening this week. ICAO, a United Nations agency, convenes its 193 member states every three years to set worldwide aviation policy. The next triennial meeting will be held in Montreal from Sept. 27 to Oct. 7.
