India Sep 30, 2025

India has secured another term on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council, getting re-elected to Part II for 2025-28 at the Montreal session.
This council shapes global aviation rules, and India has been on board since ICAO started back in 1944.

India's role in global aviation

This is more than just a diplomatic win—India now gets to keep influencing how international air travel works, from safety standards to greener skies.
For the next three years, India's focus will be on making flights safer, pushing sustainability, supporting fair access to air travel, and encouraging tech innovation.
Basically, it's about making sure global aviation grows smarter and more inclusive—with India playing a key role.
