About

Welcome on Board!

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a United Nations agency which helps 193 countries to cooperate together and share their skies to their mutual benefit. 

Since it was established in 1944, ICAO’s support and coordination has helped countries to diplomatically and technically realize a uniquely rapid and dependable network of global air mobility, connecting families, cultures, and businesses all over the world, and promoting sustainable growth and socio-economic prosperity wherever aircraft fly.

As it enters a new era of digitization, and of incredible new flight and propulsion innovations, air transport is relying more than ever on ICAO’s expert support and technical and diplomatic guidance to help chart a new and exciting future for international flight. ICAO is innovating itself to answer this call, and expanding its partnerships among UN and technical stakeholders to deliver a strategic global vision and effective, sustainable solutions.

 

Model ICAO 2025 Belgrade is not just the first ICAO simulation in the Balkans but Europe too! It´s the second existing in the world besides Model ICAO Toronto.

    Ensuring Security in Conflict Zones and High-Risk Areas

    About the committee

    In many parts of the world, air travel crosses through or near zones of armed conflict and political instability. These areas present serious safety risks for both civilian and humanitarian flights. Effective solutions require coordinated efforts in intelligence sharing, route planning, and infrastructure protection. The challenge lies in balancing the freedom of air navigation with the urgent need to protect lives in the skies above the most dangerous regions.

    Evaluating Aviation Security Failures in the Wake of September 11, 2001 Attacks

    About the committee

    The events of September 11, 2001 revealed deep vulnerabilities in global aviation systems. What followed was a worldwide transformation in how security was understood and implemented. From policy reforms to the introduction of new technologies and procedures, the legacy of those failures continues to shape present-day practices. Understanding what went wrong - and how responses evolved - offers valuable insight into building safer skies for the future.

    Topic

    Promoting Gender Equality in the Aviation Industry

    About the committee

    Across the aviation industry, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles, technical positions, and flight operations. Despite significant progress in other sectors, gender disparities persist in pilot training, recruitment, and workplace culture. Promoting equal opportunities and breaking structural barriers can transform aviation into a more inclusive and innovative field. Equity in the skies starts with systemic change on the ground.

    Topic

    Affordability of Air Travel and Its Impact on Economic Development

    About the committee

    Access to affordable air travel opens doors to economic growth, tourism, and connectivity for communities worldwide. Yet in many regions, high ticket prices and limited service routes restrict mobility and opportunity. Lowering costs while maintaining safety and quality requires innovative thinking, strategic investments, and inclusive policy frameworks. Making air travel accessible is more than convenience - it´s a catalyst for development.

    Topic

    The Legal Status of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Airports

    About the committee

    Airports have increasingly become places of legal limbo for refugees and asylum seekers in transit. These individuals often remain trapped in terminals - neither admitted nor deported - due to unclear or inconsistent legal frameworks. The lack of defined rights and protections during these waiting periods raises serious human rights concerns. Addressing these legal gray zones is essential to ensure dignity and safety for the world´s most vulnerable travelers.
