Namibia's 2024 ICAO Safety Oversight Audit
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) published an Electronic Bulletin, dated 29 June 2023, indicating that Namibia will undergo ICAO’s Universal Safety Oversight Audit during the period of 6 to 18 March, 2024. Due to this important ICAO announcement, AOPA has begun a conversation with the NCAA to ensure that:
- The Namibian aviation industry are maximally prepared to help achieve a positive ICAO audit outcome;
- That a formal plan is published and in place by the NCAA to ensure aviation safety and service deliveries are not compromised as the NCAA diverts the majority of its resources to preapring for the ICAO audit, and;
- AOPA and the Namibian aviation industry have representation on the ICAO audit preparation committee recently established by the Hon. Minister of Works and Transport.
