Hundreds of Ministers and other high-level officials from 193 countries, including local government dignitaries, will be hosted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) at its 41st triennial Assembly taking place as a hybrid event from 27 September to 7 October 2022.

Given that the negotiations will be of critical importance to governments’ abilities to charter a sustainable and resilient recovery of the global aviation sector from the effects of the pandemic, the 2022 ICAO Assembly has attracted a tremendous amount of interest from aviation regulators, operators, and non-governmental organizations.

It will be preceded by the ICAO Innovation Fair, where world leading manufacturers and operators will be showcasing tomorrow’s aviation technologies. The Innovation Fair runs from 24 to 26 September. The Fair is directly aligned with the Assembly’s theme of reconnecting the world through innovation and resilience.

To attend either physically or through teleconferencing, all media participants will need to meet the accreditation criteria (https://www.icao.int/newsroom/pages/event-accreditation.aspx) and apply for accreditation and registration prior to the events. Both applications should be filed through ICAO’s website at www.icao.int/A41registration.

Journalists attending physically are encouraged to collect their badges from 1400 onwards on 23 September at the ICAO conference entrance at 999 Robert Bourassa Boulevard.

41st Assembly Opening: 27 September – 1100

WHERE: ICAO HQ Montreal, 999 Blvd Robert-Bourassa, atrium-level entrance south of main entrance

RSVP: Media accreditation is available by registering online for the 41stAssembly.

Members of the media must present national identification indicating their citizenship to access the building (drivers licenses and health cards are therefore unacceptable.) Media will collect their access badges after passing through registration and security in the ICAO atrium.

Journalists arriving with accreditation will be assisted before those arriving without pre-accreditation, who will face longer wait times and will be vetted for credentials before gaining entry.
