The Sultanate of Oman is taking part in the 42nd Session of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)'s General Assembly, in Montreal, Canada, from 23 September to 3 October 2025. The meeting is being attended by representatives of 193 countries and 18 international organisations.
Eng. Khamis Mohammed Al Shamakhi, Transport Undersecretary at the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, gave a speech in which he highlighted the role of the civil aviation sector in supporting the national economy and enhancing regional and international air connectivity.
Al Shamakhi spoke about the Sultanate of Oman’s advanced results in international safety and security audit programmes. He explained that Oman had a compliance rate of more than 95 per cent (in the programme), thus boosting its position among the world's leading countries in this field.
Al Shamakhi affirmed Oman's keenness to contest ICAO board membership through 2026, gaining impetus from its active role in formulating international policies that enhance the safety, security and sustainability of the civil aviation sector globally.
Represented by the Civil Aviation Authority, the Sultanate of Oman signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The MoU seeks to enhance joint cooperation with the IATA in the field of aviation safety, by adopting the best practices and accredited international standards.
