Its 36-state governing council has weighed in on Russia\u2019s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and actions by North Korea, reproaching them for disturbances to critical satellite navigation systems that violated international rules on aviation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know even during the Cold War era, after the USSR joined ICAO, there was cooperation in this very particular technical field that was not taking place outside,\u201d said Vincent Correia, co-director of McGill University\u2019s Institute of Air and Space Law in Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tend to be optimistic, but&#8230; I know as well that the tensions are very, very high at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a working paper, North Korea accused ICAO\u2019s council of a double standard for not taking action against South Korea for alleged military drone infiltration of its skies.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow did not comment. It said in a statement that the Russian delegation will work on promoting the country\u2019s bid for membership on council, after losing its seat during the last assembly in 2022. Reuters reported on Monday that Russia is also calling for an easing of aviation-related boycotts.<\/p>\n<p>Countries and carriers will also be under pressure to make advances on reducing pollution from flight, with airline trade group IATA acknowledging that the industry will not hit a target of reducing emissions by 5% in 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that there are some airlines who struggle to see how we can afford the transition to net zero,\u201d IATA Director General Willie Walsh told reporters last week. Walsh said, opens new tab carriers were still committed to reducing pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Aviation is facing a staffing shortage as travel has spiked since the end of the pandemic, with India asking for a hiring code of conduct to avoid its pilots being poached.<\/p>\n<p>Global passenger traffic is projected to grow to 7.2 billion by 2035, compared with 4.6 billion travelers in 2024. An additional 670,000 pilots alone will be needed by 2043, ICAO estimates.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil, whose travel sector is expected to grow 10% a year, is trying to attract and retain more women and minorities as it is already short on mechanics and fears a bigger shortfall looming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifty-one percent of our population are women and only 3% of our pilots are women,\u201d said Tiago Faierstein, the recently appointed president of Brazilian civil aviation regulator ANAC.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: clubofmozambique<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
