Air Namibia represented on ICAO
FROM 2004 to 2006, the growth of global civil aviation continued uninterrupted. The total number of passengers worldwide grew by an average of plus minus 6 per cent annually and the actual number of passengers climbed from 1.9 billion to 2.1 billion. The forecast is for an average growth rate of 4.6 until 2025, and it is expected that the total number of passengers should translate to about 4.5 billion worldwide.
This staggering growth creates new opportunities and new challenges for States and air transport organizations. The degree to which the individual States and air transport organisations collectively manage growth effectively, uniformly and consistently while making every attempt to reduce the greenhouse gasses in all countries and regions will determine the level of safety, security, sustainability and effi ciency of the global air transport system. Southern African skies will be challenge by an unprecedented single event, the 2010 World Cup, realising gigantic increase in aircraft, passenger and cargo volumes causing mayhem if not managed properly. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has intensifi ed its leadership in a focused and proactive manner, under four basic principles: implementation, performance, results and transparency. These principles have accelerated the transition of the organisation from a traditionally prescriptivebased, to a performance-based and results-oriented organisation.
The Global Plan features interoperability and seamlessness across the regions for all users during all phases of fl ights, meet agreed levels of safety, provides for optimum economic operations, is environmentally sustainable, and refl ects national security requirements. Against this background, Namibia?s successful lobbying for seat at the Council is an incredible achievement in itself. The air transportation organisations and airlines in Namibia will only benefi t through the representation and the ICAO?s new drive that guarantees efficiencies, safety, and security, and environmental protection, rule of law, technical cooperation and continuity.
The Board of Directors, Management and Staff of Air Namibia congratulated the Ministry of Works, Transport and Communications, in particular the Honourable Minister, Joel Kapanda and his delegation. Their successful efforts in getting a seat at the Council are remarkable and can only ensure success, continuity and effi ciencies in the Namibian aviation set up. Consistently Namibia air transport services are rated amongst the very best on safety and security. Collectively, they will take up the new challenges and be part of the global attempts to standardise and improve air transport services. It was the correct decision to lobby for the seat and they will cooperatively deliver and ensure absolutely maximum efficiencies, safety, and security, and environmental protection, rule of law, technical cooperation and continuity.
