Captain Aysha Al Hamili, the UAE's permanent representative to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council, has been elected Vice President of the council for the period 2010-2011.
“Headed by Captain Aysha Al Hamili, the team of the UAE’s representative office at ICAO played a key role in representing the UAE’s interests in the civil aviation sector at ICAO, enhancing the UAE’s presence internationally, and stressing its commitment towards supporting ICAO’s standards and plans in terms of safety, security and the environment and strengthening the role of Arab states in this important international organization,” said Saif Mohammad Al Suwaidi, Director General, General Civil Aviation Authority.
The UAE has been a member of ICAO since 1972. It was elected as a member of its council in 2007 and re-elected for a new 3-year term at the 37th session of the general assembly held last October.
Captain Aysha Al Hamili is the first UAE national elected to this vital position and the youngest member on ICAO council.
