MONTREAL 2024: ICAO to host eVTOL Insights’ delegates for an industry tour of its headquarters, the day after its conference

Del­e­gates attend­ing eVTOL Insights’ upcom­ing con­fer­ence in Mon­tre­al will now have the chance to be attend a tour of The Inter­na­tion­al Civ­il Avi­a­tion Orga­ni­za­tion’s (ICAO) head­quar­ters.

Since it was estab­lished in 1944, ICAO’s sup­port and coor­di­na­tion has helped coun­tries to diplo­mat­i­cal­ly and tech­ni­cal­ly realise 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 digi­ti­sa­tion, 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.

This tour is part of eVTOL Insights’ con­fer­ence offer­ing between May 1st and 3rd. It will start with an ear­li­er indus­try tour on Wednes­day, May 1st, then a pre-event drinks evening recep­tion.

The day con­fer­ence is all day on Thurs­day, May 2nd, with an awards cer­e­mo­ny tak­ing place in the evening. Entries are still open and the dead­line is Fri­day, April 19th.

This tour will take place on Fri­day, May 3rd, the day after the con­fer­ence, and will start in the muse­um, where guides will pro­vide a his­to­ry of ICAO and its func­tions.

We will then vis­it the ICAO Assem­bly Hall, Coun­cil Cham­ber, and Air Nav­i­ga­tion Cham­ber, before con­clud­ing back at the entrance. The whole hour will last an hour.

All par­tic­i­pants must under­go secu­ri­ty screen­ing (met­al detec­tion and X‑ray) and present iden­ti­fi­ca­tion issued by an ICAO mem­ber State. Par­tic­i­pants must remain with the tour group at all times dur­ing the vis­it.

To be part of the tour on Fri­day, you will need to buy a con­fer­ence tick­et which can be pur­chased here.
