2nd Asia Pacific Ministerial conference on civil aviation will be hosted by India on September 11 and 12.
The conference will be jointly organised by the Government of India and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Asia-Pacific.
In February 2018, the first conference was organized in Beijing.
In this conference, around 40 countries, including Australia, Singapore, France, the US, the UK, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Pakistan and Japan, will participate.
The Asia Pacific region is hosting the second ministerial conference to enhance regional collaboration and foster a culture of innovation and safety.
The Asia Pacific region accounted for over 33% of total global flight departures in 2023.
The Asia Pacific region is an example of this growth, where India is emerging as one of the fastest growing markets globally.
India is currently the third largest market in the domestic sector.
In the last decade, the number of aircraft in India has increased from 400 to more than 800 and the number of airports has also increased rapidly from 74 to 157.
