Global Aviation Gender Summit 

Pursuant to ICAO 39th General Assembly Resolution A39-30 the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) will host the first ever Global Aviation Gender Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, from 8 to 10 August, to mobilize the global aviation community to accelerate gender equality in aviation. The Summit will be co-organized by ICAO in close collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The Summit will provide a unique opportunity to advocate and advance gender equality and empowerment of women in the global aviation sector. It will mobilize the global air transport community in identifying concrete actions to accelerate gender equality in a highly specialized sector and in establishing partnerships to support the coordination and implementation of these actions.

High officials from Education, Labour, External Affairs or portfolios related to gender and diversity are invited. Directors General of Civil aviation, senior officials and decision makers in civil aviation authorities, airports, air navigation service providers, airline industry, aviation associations, UN and international organizations, academia and training institutions are welcome to attend. The participation of both women and men is critical in achieving a successful and impactful Summit.
