Held under the theme ‘The Challenge of Managing Outcome Focused and Risk Based Regulations for Asia Pacific States’, the five-day conference is being attended by over 400 delegates representing civil aviation authorities of the regional countries.

Olumuyiwa Benard, President of the Council of International Civil Aviation Organization expressed gratitude to the Government of Mongolia for hosting the international conference. “It has been estimated that global air traffic will increase twice in the next 15 years”, he said, adding that majority of this traffic will be in the Asia Pacific region.

“We will work with Mongolia on increasing air navigation safety as the increasing air traffic will burden the Mongolian airspace”.

The Mongolian side highlighted the importance of the conference in promoting Mongolia and the Mongolian civil aviation, and strengthening cooperation between Asia-Pacific countries and the International Civil Aviation Organization.

The conference agenda includes a number of key issues such as aviation safety and air navigation, economic development of air transport, aviation and environment and technical and regional cooperation in addition to review of action items arising from the previous conference.

Last year, Mongolian civil aviation delegates led by G.Nyamdavaa, Director of General Civil Aviation Authority took part in the '53rd Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviations Asia & Pacific' held in Colombo city of the Democratic Sociality Republic of Sri Lanka.
