Yogyakarta: A two-day meeting of Asia-Pacific members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), held in Yogyakarta on Thursday and Friday, has proposed the establishment of an Asia-Pacific grouping.
“Indonesia has the chance of making history because this meeting was initiated by Indonesia,” Transportation Deputy Minister Bambang Susantono said on the sidelines of the Special Meeting of the Members of the Montreal Group.
He said that Asia Pacific was the biggest flight market in the world, accounting for about a third of global flight passengers.
“Some two thirds of the world’s population are also in the Asia-Pacific region and this is an extraordinary market,” he added.
Participating countries included Australia, China, Japan, India, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan and Indonesia.
