New Delhi: India will next week get recognised by United Nations’ (UN) aviation arm, international civil aviation organisation (ICAO), under its "no country is left behind" initiative. In the past few years, Indian aviation has seen a number of audits by ICAO and the US federal aviation administration (FAA) that led to question marks. India has been trying to resolve those issues and now the top aviation authorities — led by minister H S Puri, secretary P S Kharola and directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) chief Arun Kumar will be in Montreal, ICAO headquarters, to attend its 40th session of its assembly and receive the award.
“…in recognition of your state’s (India) progress in resolving its safety oversight deficiencies and improving the effective implementation (EI) of applicable ICAO standards and recommended practices during 2018, (India) has been elected to receive a Council President Certificate. (This award) was established in support of the ‘no country left behind’ initiative,” ICAO council president Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu said in a letter to aviation authorities on June 20.
“It will be an honour to recognize your state by presenting the Council President Certificate to you at a special ceremony that will be held at ICAO HQ in Montreal during the 40th session of the Assembly (September 24-October 4, 2019),” it adds.
