Kuwait Is Striving To Raise Its Aviation Infrastructure To Global Standards

Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation announced on Thursday its commitment to advancing the infrastructure of the air transport sector. We are dedicated to adopting the highest international standards within the civil aviation industry. This commitment was conveyed to KUNA by Saad Al-Otaibi, Deputy Director General for Planning and Projects Affairs, on World Civil Aviation Day, which commemorates the signing of the Chicago Charter, also known as the International Civil Aviation Convention, in 1944.

Al-Otaibi emphasized Kuwait's active participation in celebrating this crucial day in aviation, advocating strengthened cooperation between nations and people. In his speech, he highlighted Civil Aviation's adoption of a comprehensive strategy aligned with the future needs of the aviation sector. The strategy follows the regulations and procedures set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It was stressed the importance of increasing the competency of national cadres, maximizing state revenues from this sector, and ensuring enhanced safety and aviation security.

Civil Aviation consistently supports ICAO's programs and policies, keeping up with international best practices, according to Al-Otaibi. Kuwait boasts a long-standing history as a contracting member of ICAO since 1960. Optimistic, Al-Otaibi anticipated the passing of legislation to transform Civil Aviation into an independent technical body, anticipating a qualitative shift in the sector's system and the realization of the sector's goals.

He advocated liberalizing the skies and involving the international private sector in airport economic projects. Such initiatives are expected to enhance service quality and the efficiency of national cadres. Established in April 1948, ICAO, a United Nations organization headquartered in Montreal is dedicated to developing air navigation foundations and techniques. Air Transport Association's mission is to promote security, safety, and growth in the air transport industry.
