Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of the General Civil Aviation Authority

(GCAA), emphasised the aviation sector's critical role in the global economy, noting that
it accounts for 12 to 13 percent of GDP in some countries and

supports millions of jobs worldwide.

Speaking on the sidelines of the “ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium
