CARICOM calls for membership on ICAO Council

CARICOM is calling for a seat on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as a means of having its concerns properly represented.

The call was made last week Wednesday by Secretary General Irwin LaRocque during his opening address at the now concluded Air Transport Meeting, which was held at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, at Liliendaal.

LaRocque noted that of the 36 seats on the ICAO Council, the one seat allocated to the Caribbean is being determined by a body which has a minority of CARICOM membership.
