Driving further momentum on aviation safety and air navigation performance goals in its Africa-Indian Ocean (AFI) Region, the ICAO wound up a special two-day AFI Aviation Safety Symposium on 30th May in Dakar, Senegal.

High on the meeting’s agenda was a progress report and detailed review of the regional safety targets adopted by the Ministerial Conference on Aviation Safety in July 2012. The Abuja safety targets have become an inspiration to other regions of the world and are consistent with the revised global priorities established in ICAO’s Global Aviation Safety Plan.
