ICAO Announces 2016 Young Aviation Professionals

Participants representing three continents arrived in Montréal last week to begin taking part in the Young Aviation Professionals Programme, a special initiative led by ICAO in conjunction with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International (ACI). The 12-month annual programme is open to candidates who have advanced university qualifications and a minimum of two years professional working experience in aviation-related regulatory activities, and/or the air transport industry. Due consideration is also given during the selection process to gender and geographic diversity.
