International Civil Aviation Organization

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO French: Organisation de l'aviation


civile internationale, OACI), is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It codifies the
principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and
development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth.[2] Its headquarters
are located in the Quartier International of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air navigation, its
infrastructure, flight inspection, prevention of unlawful interference, and facilitation of border-
crossing procedures for international civil aviation. ICAO defines the protocols for air
accidentinvestigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to
the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.
The Air Navigation Commission (ANC) is the technical body within ICAO. The Commission is
composed of 19 Commissioners, nominated by the ICAO's contracting states, and appointed by
the ICAO Council.[3] Commissioners serve as independent experts, who although nominated by
their states, do not serve as state or political representatives. The development of
international Standards And Recommended Practices is done under the direction of the ANC
through the formal process of ICAO Panels. Once approved by the Commission, standards are
sent to the Council, the political body of ICAO, for consultation and coordination with the
Member States before final adoption.
ICAO is distinct from other international air transport organizations, like the International Air
Transport Association (IATA), a trade associationrepresenting airlines; the Civil Air Navigation
Services Organization (CANSO), an organization for Air navigation service providers (ANSPs);
and the Airports Council International, a trade association of airport authorities.
