Jamaica Elected To Part III Of ICAO Council From 2022 To 2025

Jamaica has successfully secured a seat on Part III of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council following elections at the 41st Assembly in Montreal, Canada. The country will serve a three-year term.

Jamaica’s election to Part III of the Council, which includes “States ensuring geographic representation,” is strategic for the country, the region, other Small Island Developing States, and Least Developed States all over the world. The election is important because the Council is the main body that gives direction to the work of ICAO, which is the international aviation watchdog. The Council is also in charge of adopting standards and other ICAO governance tasks.

Minister of Transport and Mining, Hon. Audley Shaw, who led the Delegation for the first time, expressed high praises to the team in Canada, the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Transport and Mining for this milestone achievement.
