Dr Fang Liu, Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) made the call so that there is emphasis on the importance of air transport and national and regional recoveries.
“One important step States can take collectively in this direction would be to strengthen your support for the Pacific Aviation Safety Office (PASO).”
Dr Liu said this would directly address the current below-world average performance of Pacific Island States in the implementation of ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) on Safety and Security.”
