MONTREAL, QC (HOL) — The Federal Government of Somalia and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) signed an agreement officially commencing the implementation of the transition program that will transfer full control of Somali airspace to the Government of Somalia.
The agreement was signed on December 4, 2014 and was attended by the Minister of Transportation and Civil Aviation Said Jama Mohamed (Qorshel) and Secretary General of ICAO Raymond Benjamin.
Speaking during the signing ceremony that took place at the ICAO Headquarters in Montreal, the Secretary General of ICAO, Raymond Benjamin, expressed his gratitude to the Somali Government and the Somali Civil Aviation Authority for their cooperation during the negotiation process.
The agreement will strengthen relationship between the ICAO and the Somali Civil Aviation Authority, and provide assistance in capacity building to bring Somalia’s civil aviation regulations in line with international standards.
The United Nations took over responsibility for managing Somalia's airspace 21 years ago following the collapse of the central government, and in May 1996, ICAO launched a Civil Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia (CACAS) to manage the country’s airspace and collect over-flight revenues for Somalia.
