highlighted the UAE's commitment to supporting all international efforts aimed at

transitioning to a sustainable aviation system. He added: “The large international

presence at the 4th ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium and the first edition

of the Global Sustainable Aviation Marketplace represents a continuation of the UAE's

journey in leading the global dialogue on the future of sustainable aviation.”

He emphasised that the UAE, guided by the vision of its leadership, places innovation and

sustainability at the core of its aviation development strategy. The country continues to

develop advanced solutions based on integrating artificial intelligence in air traffic

management, enhancing passenger experience, and adopting technologies that

contribute to reducing carbon emissions, reflecting its commitment to fostering a smarter,

safer, and more sustainable aviation system. He also noted that this approach aligns with

the UAE's vision for a future of aviation that is capable of addressing tomorrow's

challenges.

He added: “The path to sustainable aviation requires more than just adopting technology

or establishing regulatory frameworks; it requires shared responsibility and international

cooperation. The UAE's initiative, the 'Global Sustainable Aviation Marketplace,' is a

crucial step towards achieving a shared international vision for decarbonising the sector,

as it provides an environment conducive to partnerships and collaboration to develop

solutions that will shape the future of our industry.”

During his opening speech, ICAO President Salvatore Sciacchitano praised the UAE for
organising and hosting the 4th ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium and for

its ongoing efforts to drive international initiatives toward sustainability in the civil aviation
sector. He stressed the importance of enhancing international cooperation in civil aviation,

pointing out that the concept of "leaving no country behind" is no longer just an initiative
within ICAO but has been incorporated as a strategic goal in the organisation’s 2026-2050

strategy, making it a formal commitment requiring sustained financial and technical

support from member states and industrial partners.
