Global Aviation Body Urges Stronger Safeguards Against Conflict Zone Threats
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has called on its member states to strengthen measures to protect civil aircraft from threats associated with conflict zones. ICAO emphasized the need to reinforce international commitments as military risks to civil aviation increase globally. The organization noted that modern military technologies present growing hazards to passenger and cargo flights, and that the probability of civil aircraft becoming direct targets or caught in crossfire has increased. ICAO urged governments to rapidly share intelligence on potential hazards and recommended strengthening risk assessment mechanisms, improving real-time decision-making, and enhancing civil-military coordination.
