NAIROBI, Kenya – Delegations from 70 countries around the world gathered in Nairobi on Monday, 10 December 2018, to negotiate air service agreements, at the 11th International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) air services negotiation event (ICAN2018).
ICAN is an annual global aviation event convened by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) since 2008.
The five-day forum provides meeting facilities for states to conduct multiple bilateral, regional or pluri-lateral air services negotiations on market access in a single location, thus sparing the member states the trouble of making individual trips to each of the countries.
It is also a forum for the participants to learn about current trends, discuss topical issues and exchange experiences and excellent networking opportunities.
Negotiations between states remain private in nature, not open to third parties.
Guided by the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), 1944, it is expected that the participating delegations will be negotiating pluri-lateral, multilateral and bilateral agreements that will allow them to operate international air services. https://www.politicalanalysis.co.za/ican-2018-event-kicks-off-in-nairobi/
