Montreal, Canada. – The General Director of the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation, Idac, Igor Rodríguez Durán, began his official activities at the head of the institution, participating in the Fourteenth Navigation Conference of the International Civil Aviation Organization, Icao, which is held from August 26 to September 6, whose central axis is focused on improving performance. to drive sustainability.
The conference’s days of discussions and proposals seek to reach a global consensus on the performance improvement initiatives that can most help the international body, Member States and industry to solve the environmental problems facing global aviation and the rapid evolution of aviation operations and technologies.
The head of Idac was interested in each of the topics discussed in this important conclave, in which representatives of the 39 member states participate, as well as delegations from countries that are not part of the entity that governs international civil aviation, but that, like the Dominican Republic, pursue the same objective: which is to provide reliable and pollution-free air navigation and operational safety in the world.
“This activity organized by Icao, commits us as a country and, as head of Idac, to ensure that our aeronautical system maintains and complies with international standards focused on a more environmentally friendly civil aviation, to be vigilant and demanding with operators, technicians and air supervisors and with all actors of Dominican air activity,” Rodríguez said.
This Fourteenth Conference also provides for the opportunity to hold detailed technical exchanges, which will make it possible to reach agreements on a series of high-level recommendations in the fields of air navigation and safety.
Given the preponderance of environmental issues on the aviation agenda and the need to agree on strategic air navigation and safety plans based on the agreements reached at the 41st session of the Assembly, the conference seeks to encourage an intentional reorientation of efforts, so that priority is given to existing or new technical activities that will best contribute to the achievement of the ambitious long-term goal term for international aviation.
The recommendations will be submitted to the Council for approval, and where appropriate the endorsement of the 42nd session of the Assembly in 2025 will be sought.
The Dominican delegation is headed by Igor Rodríguez, in his capacity genral director of Idac, accompanied by Ambassador Julio Peña, permanent representative of the Dominican Republic to Icao; Héctor Porcella, president of the Civil Aviation Board, Jac,; Antonio Yapor, alternate representative and member of the Jac and technical officials of the Idac.
