Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) has the honour of inviting you to join the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as it launches a new initiative to promote aviation to the public at large through its new ICAO Global Ambassadors Program, as approved by the ICAO Council in its 235th Session.

Aviation Sector is projected to serve 12.4 billion passengers annually by 2050, an increase of nearly 300% over the current volumes. To address this growing demand, it is critical for the aviation sector to tap into pools of competent and skilled professionals, including those traditionally under-represented in the aviation sector. The ICAO Global Ambassadors Program will play an important role in promoting greater engagement across the sector.

This Program aims to enlist the volunteer services of prominent individuals from the aviation sector to raise awareness among various groups, notably women and youth, on aviation and the opportunities it offers. This Program is aligned with ICAO’s Strategic Plan 2026–2050 through which the Organization seeks to chart a new, forward-looking, and fit-for-purpose course to strengthen aviation safety, security, and sustainability worldwide.

You are invited to apply for ICAO Global Ambassadors Program, for designation by the ICAO Secretary General for a duration of two years.

The following criteria are expected to be taken into consideration in the selection of Ambassadors,

1. Be widely recognized for expertise and accomplishments in aviation fields;
2. Be actively working and engaged in the aviation industry;
3. Be persons of ethics and integrity who demonstrate a strong desire to help mobilize public interest in, and support for, the Strategic Goals of ICAO and priorities of the aviation sector;

5. Demonstrate the commitment and proven potential to reach out to significant audiences, including decision-makers; and
