Civil aviation

The civil aviation sector plays a crucial role in economic, social and sustainable development and is vital for the transport of passengers and delivery of time-sensitive and high-value goods. The sector is one in which connectivity, growth and quality service have gone hand in hand with the development of technical policies and regulations that ensure its safety and security. Investment in sustainable aviation ecosystems has a strong impact on the employment and supply chains of related sectors, including travel, tourism, and health. Connectivity by air is crucial for small island, developing, landlocked countries and geographically isolated regions.
