Dominica has now become the 193rd member state of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) following its official adherence to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (the Chicago Convention).
Dominica deposited its notification of adherence to the convention on March 14, 2019, and its ICAO member state status became effective 30 days after April 13, 2019. ICAO was advised of the development by the government of the United States of America, which serves as the depositary of the Chicago Convention. The ICAO member states were advised separately of the development via a state letter.
“The safe, secure, and sustainable development of air connectivity is underpinned by compliance with ICAO standards and recommended practices (SARPs) and the implementation of our global plans and other guidance materials. Joining ICAO is the first step toward compliance,” noted the president of the ICAO council, Dr Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu. “As aviation is pivotal to the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted under the UN’s Agenda 2030 and is particularly crucial to the sustainable economic prosperity and resilience of small island developing states (SIDS), Dominica’s ratification of the Chicago convention will represent a significant moment in history.”
ICAO membership will be particularly important for the development of Dominica’s tourism sector, as air transport and tourism are major and highly synergistic economic sectors. This is illustrated by the fact that, at the global level, 57 percent of international tourists travel to and from their destinations by air. The combined contribution to the world GDP of these two sectors is, in fact, close to 14 percent. Significant growth in air services and tourism is forecast, which represents a particularly important opportunity for island states like Dominica.
“Dominica will now be able to access the global guidance, and support ICAO delivers through our no country left behind initiative. It enables our member states to develop aviation policies, strategies, and capacity that are optimised in terms of unlocking the sustainable development benefits of international air connectivity,” said ICAO secretary-general Dr Fang Liu. “We look forward to welcoming Dominica to events such as the upcoming ICAO World Aviation Forum, which provides states with unique opportunities to connect with the world’s key aviation and finance stakeholders and expand their aviation sector through strategic partnerships. A strong foundation for these partnerships will be provided by the ICAO strategic guidance, linked to our safety and security auditing that Dominica will now be receiving.”
Like the other states in the Caribbean, Dominica will receive crucial support from ICAO’s North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACC) regional office, enabling it to thoroughly identify and benefit from the opportunities presented by its ICAO membership, and participate fully in regional and global aviation planning going forward.
All of you bits of scum of the earth like something called Anon, by the time you see the result of next election, some of you will feel like hanging yourselves, because Roosevelt will be no more.
This morning someone sent me a video of a woman in New York who used to camping all over the place dressed up in red, recruiting people, paying their passage to go to Dominica and vote!
She has come to realize that there must be a change in Dominica, hence she no longer dress in her red sweat suit ranting and raving for Roosevelt; now she is in the camp of the UWP campaigning for the UWP.
Lies and bribes are no longer working; they went on a bit of land I have in Wesley, and put an 8 X 8 or X 12 on it for my nephew, with no indoor plumbing; but if they hope that is the bribe for his vote it will not work.
Crap is a box!

I may not get it in a sequence, but to you man dog, it would not matter; perhaps your human tutor will explain it to you!
The continuation starts here:
” which in turn permits more than 100,000 daily flights in aviation’s global network to operate safely and reliably in every region of the world.”
In addition to its core work resolving consensus-driven international SARPs and policies among its Member States and industry, and among many other priorities and programmes, ICAO also coordinates assistance and capacity building for States in support of numerous aviation development objectives; produces global plans to coordinate multilateral strategic progress for safety and air navigation; monitors and reports on numerous air transport sector performance metrics; and audits States’ civil aviation oversight capabilities in the areas of safety and security.
So, point to the place where the protocol states it will help to develop tourism in Dominica, it’s about…
@Francisco, I am not talking about development of tourism in Dominica. I am asking you to not keep on talking down at us Dominicans that is all am asking from you.
Man Dog, let me educate you just a little bit: I did not learn this from any class room; I wanted to know what’ purpose the “ICAO” serve and so I did my research; the following are my findings.
That is public information:
It is a bit long so I may contribute it in four segments.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a UN specialized agency, established by States in 1944 to manage the administration and governance of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention). ICAO works with the Convention’s 193 Member States and industry groups to reach consensus on international civil aviation Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and policies in support of a safe, efficient, secure, economically sustainable and environmentally responsible civil aviation sector.
These SARPs and policies are used by ICAO Member States to ensure that their local civil aviation operations and regulations conform to global norms, which in turn permit more…
Why does this regime have to be last in regionally and internationally in everything that is beneficial to the state? It is said by most of the DLP sycophantic supporters that too many Dominicans are too critical of the current government. Reason for this is, Skerrit creates a target rich environment for attacks. Imagine, Dominica is the last government on earth to join this important organization (ICAO). Dominica is just a depressing country to live in. The economy, agriculture and infrastructure are collapsing, too many people have been financially castrated, all the noble revered institutions are politically corrupt, and the leader is married to power, lies, dishonesty and small-mindedness. While his personal assets are mushrooming, the country’s indebtedness is ballooning. He and his amateurish devotees have to GO this time.
The airport runway should be extended out into the Atlantic by 1000 feet using pilings and rock. A tunnel can be constructed under the runway for vehicles. A high sea wall can also be constructed.
“ICAO membership will be particularly important for the development of Dominica’s tourism sector, as air transport and tourism are major and highly synergistic economic sectors.”Who told that lie?
The International Civil Aviation organization is an agency who’s mandate is to ensure the safe, and orderly evaluation of international and civil aviation; within the international realm of the organization.
It provides general rules, and mediate international concerns regarding aviation law! So, where does it say an organization based in the United States duties are to help develop tourism in any country, and especially Dominica?
We heard Roosevelt proclaimed he was going to clear land perhaps on his balled head, as an international runway, weld three cargo containers together for a terminal building, and commercial aircraft with international passengers would land on his dirt runway.
It’s the International Aviation Organization who would have to approve that; which would…
@ Francisco, Please stop that crap right now we Dominicans are not stupid as you think we are you don’t have to explain to us what is what not we are not children, every one knows and heard the meaning of Civil Aviation Organisation and what it does keep your crap to your self or sell it to those clowns at the so-called workers party
“ICAO membership will be particularly important for the development of Dominica’s tourism sector, as air transport and tourism are major and highly synergistic economic sectors.”
Okay, Man Dogs!Well that is your name right?
I left out your middle name “eat garbage:”
Nevertheless, since you are the smartest born since Roosevelt, I want you to name any place, such as a country on the planet where you know the ICAO promotes tourism in any country: such as the USA, Canada, any place in Europe, and the Rest of the Caribbean; English, French, Dutch or Spanish speaking island.
“Smart dogs;” I know some animals are smart but not as smart as your species of dogs!
Hahashahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
I know I Francisco Telemaque is an idiot eh, did not attend any school, since you occupied them all there was no seat in any for me, that is why I am an idiot who can’t compete with you; I however challenge you to tell me where the ICAO promotes tourism.
You know when I was just a little boy about six (6) years old; I had my first encounter with a local village philosopher when I heard him told a debating opponent:” Children and fools should not play with edged tools.”
I was puzzled, at the remarks I heard; so I went home and ask my grandmother what the man might meant.
She told me he was using a metaphor to inform his debating opponent that he should not meddle, or get into a debate unless he knew what he was talking about.
He impressed on his opponent his argument was like that of a child, and indeed made him out as a fool.
Your spelling has improved, I don’t know how you manage to improve so rapidly; nevertheless, you still show that you lack some scholastic: Rather than indulging in things you do not understand, or know about!
Simply keep quiet, and if you are capable do some research to know what you are talking about.
You humiliating yourself!
In Reality Dominica is the last country to join.
What is the purpose of joining when Dominica does not have an International Airport?
The only place on the planet where one finds whatever that is in the picture as an airport can only be found in backward Dominica!
You’re so right until another joins. That’s kinda how it works.
For them to go and start breaking ground to stat build those people hospital for them they want to go and join international aviation organization? What in Dominica is of an international standard besides our pristine unspoiled rain forests? NOTHING! everything else has a band aid holding it together or in dire need of a proper paint job. Anyway, bravo! on your accomplishment. I hope when you join, they will force you to adopt certain measures to truly operate on an international level.
Bravo, the first shall be the last. There are only 193 countries in the whole world, if you don’t count the Vatican or Palestine. Maybe we will see a plane on the Dominica register soon, a Learjet to make the owner less easy to trace.
It would be interesting to know when the other OECS countries joined…Are we under DLP last again???
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
LAZY Skerrit Must Go Now
@ Hopeless, sorry hopeful, you said second plane crash in Dominica none of it has nothing to do with Dominica or Mr Skerrit, don’t start running with false accusations as workers are very often good at.
You are right, but workers have noting to go with either.
% stop being a political mule. Under UWP Dominica was also not signed to ICAO. So for Dominica to now be a member that’s a big move by the DLP, and that’s why they need 5 more years.
Reasons why Marigot needs a well equipped, functional and modern hospital. It will serve every traveller irrespective of his nationality.
It would take a wicked, mischievous, brutal and inconscionable government leader not to see that!!
More reasons why the inept and incompetent DLP must go!!!
It is a party that has absolutely no love for people!
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
LAZY Skerrit Must Go Now
Well look the first test second plan crashed today April 18,2019!….lets put the recognition into practice
Hopeful the plane that crashed was not at the airport but went down west of the airport in the woodland area. Please read before you comment.
