9/30/25, 4:45 PM UAE announces winners of $1 million SMBR Global Aviation Award
national vision and global mission, opening its skies through 189 air service

agreements, over 80% of which are fully liberalized, reflecting the belief that

open skies are fundamental to shared prosperity.

Regarding sustainability, the UAE has taken significant steps, including

implementing a roadmap for sustainable aviation fuel production and

developing initiatives such as the digital platform for the CORSIA (Carbon

Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) programme,

alongside establishing the Global Sustainable Aviation Marketplace

(GSAM).

He said: "The UAE believes that progress in aviation cannot be achieved

unless it includes everyone, and sustainability can only be realized through

investment in human capital. To this end, the UAE has developed several

initiatives to build sector competencies in collaboration with its

international partners."

He added: "The UAE has repeatedly opened its doors to host the world,

serving as a hub for partners, a supportive voice for international

cooperation, and a bridge between regions as a trusted and constructive

ally."

Later in the evening, the UAE hosted its official state reception in Montreal,

as part of the customary protocol for participating countries within the

ICAO assembly. The event offered a distinguished celebration blending

formal and cultural elements, attended by Al Marri; Saif Al Suwaidi;

ministers and civil aviation directors from ICAO member states, alongside

officials from regional and international aviation organisations.
