Establishing National Facilitation Oversight Mechanisms

DESCRIPTION

This Implementation Package (iPack) is a self-contained package to assist and guide Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) in the implementation of ICAO Annex 9 — Facilitation provisions related to the National Air Transport Facilitation Programme (NATFP) for establishing effective oversight mechanisms. It includes relevant documentation, tools, and an optional virtual classroom course to assist the process. A dedicated subject matter expert will work remotely with the CAA, providing guidance in their implementation efforts to achieve the objectives of the iPack. The level of progress made in achieving each iPack objective depends on the availability of CAA’s resources to perform the work.

 

GOAL

 

The goal of this iPack is to assist states in establishing and enhancing their national oversight systems to effectively implement Annex 9 Standards. It focuses on developing frameworks for regulatory compliance, quality control, and continuous monitoring to ensure that these standards are met consistently, thereby improving overall regulatory oversight and quality control in participating States.
