SA re-elected as member of International Civil Aviation Organisation council

SA garnered 151 votes, the fourth highest in the second part of voting, to retain the council seat first gained in 2003.

Deputy transport minister Sindisiwe Chikunga, who led the SA delegation, said the country's re-election was an achievement for Africa and the aviation industry as SA would continue to lead, support, and execute the objectives and mandates set by the ICAO statutes. “Our contribution to the world in the sector speaks volume just as the voting showed. SA will continue in playing a role that drives the advancement and the fruition of the civil aviation sector. We will also continue in doing our work alongside our neighbouring states, where SA offers the necessary support that contributes towards the socioeconomic benefit of the industry.”

The transport department on Sunday said the 41st assembly was the first sitting since the Covid-19 outbreak, where some of the focal conversations concentrated on the economic recovery of the aviation sector, environmental factors, aviation safety and security working papers. The 193 member states convene every three years to elect the council and review in detail the work of the organisation in the technical, administrative, economic, legal, and technical co-operation fields. The council has the power to approve amendments to the Convention on International Civil Aviation , subject to ratification by member states.
