In his statement, he emphasised that aviation is not merely a means of transport,

but a bridge for human communication and a symbol of openness among nations.

He highlighted that, under the guidance of the UAE’s leadership, aviation has

become a cornerstone of the country’s 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.
