In his first international press briefing at the summit, ICAO Council President Toshiyuki Onuma emphasized how rapid growth in air travel offers a unique opportunity to shape aviation's future: "Annual global passenger numbers surpassed 4.6 billion in 2024 and are expected to triple by 2050. Cargo volumes will more than double.

A system built for four billion passengers cannot serve three times that number. "This unprecedented growth highlights the urgent need to transform aviation systems today.

Key goals include delivering zero fatalities, achieving NetZero 2050, and ensuring safe, sustainable air transport for all amid rising demand.
