ICAO Council rejects blockading countries’ appeals against Qatar - The Peninsula Qatar:

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council has decided to reject the appeals submitted by the blockading countries regarding the incompetence of the ICAO to consider Qatar’s complaints. This came during an ICAO session held today to hear the two complaints Qatar had submitted about the negative impacts caused by the blockading countries on aviation and air safety and security.

Minister of Transport and Communications H E Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti hailed the vote by the majority of ICAO Member States in favour of examining and looking into Qatar’s complaints and against the blockading countries’ appeals. He also praised ICAO’s efforts in preserving air safety and security and air traffic.

He also stressed that the blockade countries’ encroachments of aviation safety and security contradict all norms and agreements binding on all parties, in addition to the serious consequences such encroachments cause to air safety and security.
