Developing countries in the Asia and the Pacific Region contributed significantly as their average GDP grew 6.7 per cent. China's GDP again showed a strong growth, of 7.7 per cent. Several South-East Asian economies continued to show strong growth in 2000. Japan's GDP continued to stabilize with almost 2 per cent growth during 2000, while Asia's 4 newly industrialized In 2000, world gross domestic product (GDP) grew economies averaged almost 8 per cent GDP approximately 4.4 per cent in real terms (Figure 1). growth.

The Central and Eastern year. European economies grew around 3.8 per cent. The countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) showed a significant GDP growth, averaging about 5.0 per cent, following moderate growth experienced in the previous year. Latin America and the Caribbean recovered from a weak economic performance and posted a healthy 4.3 per cent GDP growth, close to the world average; the Middle East also experienced a high growth of over 6 per cent, significantly greater than the previous year. The world trade volume in goods and services is estimated to have grown approximately 10 per cent in 2000, the highest rate achieved during the last decade and more than twice that experienced in the previous year. International tourism grew significantly in 2000 by an estimated 7.4 per cent, almost double the Figure 1. Development in world GDP in constant prices increase in 1999.

Scheduled Operations

In 2000, the total scheduled traffic carried by the airlines of the 185 Contracting States of ICAO amounted to a total of about 1647 million passengers and some 30.2 million tomes of freight. Overall passenger/freight/mail tonne-kilometres performed increased by some 8 per cent over 1999 and international tonne-kilometres by some 9 per cent (Tables 1and 2). Figure 3 shows the trend from 1991 to 2000. In 2000, the overall capaaty increased at a slightly lower rate than traffic (Figure 4). Hence, the average passenger load factor on total scheduled services (domestic plus international) increased to 71 per cent in 2000 and the average weight load

Per tonne-kilometre, operating revenues decreased from 77.9 cents in 1999 to an estimated 77.6 cents in 2000, while operating expenses increased from 74.7 cents to an estimated 75.0 cents. Airport Operations

In 2000, the 25 largest airports in the world Airports and Air Navigation Services handled some 1096 million passengers, according to preliminary estimates (Table 8).During the same Although details are not yet available, the overall period, the airports concerned (16 of which are financial situation of airports and air navigation located in North America, 6 in Europe and 3 in service providers continued to improve in 2000 Asia) also handled some 11.5 million commercial and the larger operators are generally financially air transport movements. robust. However, it is apparent that for many

Thus, the full costs of both airports and providers and users. By the end of the year, the air navigation service providers are not recovered. Council had acted on all the Conference recommendations and adopted the new ICAO's Policies on Charges for Airports and Air Navigation Services (Doc 9082/6) to supersede the former Statements by the Council to Contracting States on Charges for Airports and Air Navigation Services (Doc 9082/5). The new guidance material addresses such issues as independent mechanisms for the economic Carriers regulation of airports and air navigation services; the development and application of performance On the basis of schedules published in multilateral parameters; the application of the best commercial airline schedule guides, it is estimated that at the practices; joint charges collections; pre-funding of end of 2000 there were some 716 air camers projects through charges in specific circumstances; worldwide providing scheduled passenger and the use of 'yrst resort" mechanisms for the services (internationaland/or domestic) and about settlement of disputes. 91 operating scheduled all-freight services. Compared with the same period in 1999, this represents a net overall increase of just 1 air carrier. Aircraft The trend of privatization of govemment- owned airlines continued in 2000.

The Govemment of Malaysia aircraft numbers increased by about 6 per cent, raised the foreign ownership limit of its national from 15 192 to 16045, over the same period carriers from 30 to 45 per cent. The Government of (Figure 7 and Table 10). India was also considering an increase in its limit in connection with the proposed privatization of its national carriers.

Airports and Air Navigation Services

The strong growth in the autonomy of airports and air navigation service providers worldwide continued. The involvement of private interests also accelerated but principally in the airport sector. This occurred not so much through outright purchases of airports, but rather through various other forms of private involvement such as partial ownership and management contracts. A noticeable emerging development was the Year expansion and growing activity of airport alliances.

An increasing use of improved automatic weather observing systems for general meteorological observations in States has prompted requests for a review by ICAO of the role of these systems in the provision of observations for aviation. The use of meteorological information to support measures being taken to increase airport capacity is being studied by States, in particular in the European Amendment 3 to Annex 14, Volume 1, included Region.

The fatality rate for turbo-jet aircraft operations was, therefore, far lower than for propeller-driven aircraft.

Non-scheduled Commercial Operations

Non-scheduled commercial operations include both the non-scheduled flights of scheduled airlines and all air transport flights of non- scheduled commercial operators. Data available to ICAO on the safety of nonscheduled passenger operations show that there were 22 fatal accidents involving aircraft with a maximum certificated take-off mass of more than 2 250 kg both in 2000 and 1999 (the earlier year including 6 involving aircraft operating all-cargo services with passengers on board).

Fftieth Anniversary of the ICAO Air Aravigation Commission

Pursuant to the adoption of this Resolution, the Air Navigation Commission held a special meeting on 4 February 1999 to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. Many Council Representatives and a number of past Commissioners attended the special meeting which was addressed by Dr. Assad Kotaite, President of the Council; Mr. Walter Binaghi, former President of the Council and the first Chairman of the Air Navigation Commission; Mr. Victor Aguado, President of the AirNavigation Commission; Mr. Philippe Langumier, the senior member of the Commission; and Mr. Edmund Smart and Mr. Michael Comber, Observers of IFALPA and IATA, respectively, on the Commission. Additional events to commemorate the 50th Anniversary were held on 22 June 1999, including aday ofconsultation with the aviation industry, and areception, at which the first ICAO ANC Laurel Award was confemed.

Safely of navigation

This Resolution was conveyed to Contracting States in StateLetter AN 13129-98/95 dated 16 December 1998, drawing attention to the potentially hazardous activity that had occurred in the vicinity of the international routes known as the North Pacific (NOPAC) Composite Route System, connecting Asia and North America. The Assembly urged Contracting States to take appropriate measures to further enhance the safety of international civil aviation. The need to strictly comply with the provisions ofthe Convention on international Civd Aviation, its Annexes and related procedures was emphasized.

Harmonization of the regulations andprogrammesfor dealingwith assistance to victims ofaviationaccidents and theirfamilies

This Resolution was brought to the attention of Contracting States in State Letter AN 6139-99/17 dated 29 January 1999. Those States which have regulations or programmes to assist aircraft accident victims and their families were urged to make them available to ICAO for possible assistance to States; other States were urged to promptly review, develop and implement such regulations and programmes. In this respect, States were requested to complete a questionnaire. On 8 December 1999, the Council considered a report on the subject and noted the results ofthe survey. It was determined that the subject was not yet mature enough for SARPs. The Council agreed that, as an initial step, ICAO would develop guidance material on the subject in the form of an ICAO circular, which is expected to be sent to States in mid-2001. A report on the subject will be presented to the 33rd Session ofthe Assembly.

Consolidated statement of continuing 1CAOpolicies and practices related to environmental protection

This Resolution was conveyed to Contracting States in State Letter AN 1/17-99/27 dated 5 March 1999, drawing attention to substantive revisions to the consolidated statement in Resolution A3 1-1 1, namely, 2 new clauses in Appendix B, the updating of Appendix F and the addition of new Appendices G and H. The State Letter also drew the attention of States to safety aspects associated with Appendix E that the Air Navigation Commission had identified.

AppendixB-Development ofStandards, RecommendedPracticesandProcedzires andorguidance material relating to the quality of the environment

At the fourth meeting of the 156th Session, the ICAO Council adopted Amendment 6 to Annex 16 - Environmental Protrclion, Volume I - Aircrafl Noise and Amendment 4 to Annex 16 -Environmental Protection. Volume I1 Aircraft Engine Lmissions, proposed at CAEPl4.

Following CAEP14 Recommendation 212 and further instructions given by the Council and Air Navigation Commission (ANC), a State Letter was issued on 14 May 1999, containing revised material relating to the reduction of noise nuisance from light propeller-driven aeroplanes (AN 1117-99\63), which is intended to complement the newly adopted noise standards. A-88 Annual Reporr ofthe Council 2000

Resolution Subiect and action taken

State Letter AN 1117-99127dated 5 March 1999, also broughtthe attention of States and relevant international organizations to the environmental benefit as one of the benefits that would accrue from the early implementation of CNSIATM systems. Subsequently, at the sixth meeting of its 157th Session, the Council approved Conclusion 3/14 of the ALLPIRGI3 Report - Cooperation with ICAOICAEP work.

During the sixteenth meeting of its 150th Session (19 March 1997), the Council agreed that the CAEP13 proposed amendments to PANS-OPS, Volume I, concerning take-offnoise abatement procedures be referred to the Operations Study Group (OPSSG) for review of the safety implications and to CAEP for review of the flexibility aspect and technical issues raised by States. CAEPI5 will further consider the proposals in light of those reviews and will report to Council accordingly.

On 7 June 1999, the ICAO Council approved an additional CAEP mandate. CAEP was requested to explore the issue of operating restrictions on the noisiest Chapter 3 aircraft, in addition to the ongoing work on a possible noise standard more stringent than the current Chapter 3 provisions, and requested that the Council be informed of progress.

Since the last Assembly, new CAEP Members from Egypt and South Africa, were approved by the Council; this is in line with the request by the Assembly that Contracting States from regions of the world that are currently not represented or under-represented in CAEP participate in the Committee's work. New Observers from Norway, the Arab Civil Aviation Commission (ACAC), the European Federation for Transport and the Environment (an umbrellagroup representing environmental non-governmental organizations worldwide), and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) were also approved to participate at meetings of the CAEP.

Appendix F - Environmental impact ofcivil aviation on the upper atmosphere

In April 1999, the lntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its Special Report on Aviation and the Global Atmosphere, which was prepared, at ICAO's request, with the collaboration of the Scientific Assessment Panel to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and with some ICAO involvement. The report's Summary for Policymakers was distributed to Contracting States by State Letter E 3113.7-99112 dated 10 December 1999.

The Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) is studying policy options to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions from civil aviation, taking into account the above-mentioned IPCC report and the requirements ofthe Kyoto Protocol, in order to enable the Council to report back to the next ordinary session ofthe Assembly in 2.001. There was increased cooperation with other organizations involved inpolicy-making in this field. Regular reports weremade to policy-making bodiesofthe UNFCCC and theUNFCCC Secretariat now has Observer status at CAEP meetings.

Appendix H Environmental charges and tares

The Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) is pursuing the question of emission-related levies, as well as other market-based measures, to limit or reduce the impact of aircraft engine emissions, such as emissions trading and voluntary mechanisms, in order to enable the Council to report back to the next ordinary session of the Assembly in 2001.

A32-9 Preventing the inboduction of invasive alien species

In response to Resolving Clauses 1 and 3, a report on ICAO's cooperation with other UN organiza:ions is being submitted to the 33rd Session ofthe Assembly.

A32-10 International assessment criteria and notification of status concerning Year ZOO0 complinnce

The Secretariat, in cooperation with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International (ACI), established an extensive Year 2000 (Y2K) programme that culminated in a seamless and uneventful millennium changeover. The primary efforts of the programme focused on disseminating Appendix 17 A-89 Resolution Subiect and action $ken

information, increasing awareness, assessing progress and assisting States in developing contingency plans. A Global Coordination Unlt (GCU) was established at ICAO Headquarters to facilitate the continuity ofglobal air traffic management duringthe critical changeover. Regional Coordination Units (RCU) collected, collated and disseminated information supplied by Contracting States, and aY2K database was developed to make this information available to all other States, to the GCU, to other RCUs and to the IATA member airlines in accordance with theResolution. Contingency plans wereeffectively coordinated, implementedanddeactivated in a timely and orderly fashion with arninimum of disruption to the aviation community.

A32-11 Establishment of an IC.40 Universal Safety hersight Audit Programme

In accordance with Assembly Resolution A32-11, theICAO Universal Safety Oversight Auditprogramme was launched on 1 January 1999, with audit activities commencing in March. The Programme calls for the mandatory and regular safety oversight audits of all Contracting States, and for greater transparency in the disclosure of audit results. It supersedes the voluntary ICAO Safety Oversight Assessment Programme established in March 1996.

The audits are conducted by experienced auditors who are selected by ICAO and are required to undergo both a training course and on-the-job training before being assigned as audit team members. The audits are carried out following standard auditing procedures and protocols established in the Safely Oversight Audit Manual (Doc 9735). As of 31 December, 131 Contracting States had been audited by ICAO.

A32-12 FoNow-up to the 1998 Worldwide CNS/ATMSyslems Implementation Conference

Action on this Resolution was pursued through the development by the Council of a comprehensive action plan based on the recommendations ofthe 1998 Worldwide CNSfATM Systems Implementation Conference. The action plan comprised the tasks to be undertaken by CNSIATM partners such as States, Planning and Implementation Regional Groups (PIRGs), international organizations, and service providers. In particular, States and international organizations have been advised of the follow-up implementation actions through State Letter M 811-98158 dated 17 July 1998. The PIRGs have incorporated appropriate tasks in their work programmes. Other CNSfATM tasks envisaged in that action plan have been assigned internally.

A32-13 Support of the ICAOpolicy on radio frequency spectrum matters

This Resolution was sent to Contracting States in State Letter E 315-98/98, in conjunction with the proposed ICAO position for the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) WorldRadiocommunication Conference (WRC-2000). Furthermore, the Resolution was brought to the attention ofthe Ministers ofTransport of all Contracting States by the President of the Council in his letter dated 10 August 1999. Contracting States were reminded of the importance of firmly supporting the ICAO position at WRC-2000 and in regional and other international activities conducted in preparation for WRCs, by including in their proposals to the WRC and to regional telecommunications fora, to the extent possible, material consistent with the lCAO position. Special emphasis was put on the need to retain the GNSS frequency band 1 559-1 610 MHz for exclusive use by the Aeronautical Radionavigation Serviceand theRadionavigation Satellite Service. The Secretary General wrote to the Secretary General of ITU to reiterate the importance of adequate radio frequency spectrum allocation and protection for the safety of aviation. Increased participation by ICAO at international and regional spectrum management fora was enabled due to the high priority given in the Resolution to making the necessary resources available. As a result of the intensive preparation and coordination and ofthe large aviation participation at WRC-2000, the outcome of the WRC fully met the ICAO position. The Resolution was used as the basis for the development of a proposed strategy for establishing and promoting the ICAO position for future ITU WRCs, to be submitted ro the 33rd Session of the Assembly.

Resolution Subject and action taken

Appendix A - Economic Regulation

A roster of air transport experts specializing in mediating or resolving disputes was developed for States. A study on aircraft leasing was completed and sent to States together with guidance on the implementation of Article 83 bis of the Convention on lnlernalional Civililvialion on lease, charter or interchange of aircraft. A study on the allocation of flight departure and arrival slots at international airports was carried out and was presented to the Conference on the Economics of Airports and Air Navigation Services (ANSConf 2000) in June 2000. A circular containing the study will be published early in 2001.

In preparation for a new round oftrade negotiations to be launched by the World Trade Organization (WTO- OMC), the Council, on 22 November 1999, adopted a resolution defining the Organization's position on the trade in services negotiations. This resolution was sent to the WTO-OMC and to States.

The Secretariat closely monitored trade in services developments, particularly the review ofthe Air Transport Services Annex inthe General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). The Secretariat provided input to the WTO Secretariat in preparation for the review and participated in meetings held by the WTO concerning air transport, as well as in other international fora where air transport is discussed in the context of trade in services. At these meetings, the Secretariat made representations on ICAO's role in economic regulation and its work in facilitating regulatory reform. The President of the Council, through his memoranda, kept the Representatives on the Council abreast of significant developments and issues involved. States were encouraged to ensure the involvement and participation oftheir aviation experts in the GATS review process.

The revision and updating of Doc 9587, Policy and Guidance Material on the Economic Regulation of International Air Transport, was completed and the second edition was published in December 1999.

Appendix B - Statistics

In March 1999, the Council reviewed the ICAO Statistics Programme and decided to suspend the annual survey ofcivil aviation activities and civilian pilot licences in view ofreduced resources.

Appendix C - Forecasting and economic planning

Long-term forecasts up to the year 2010 were developed and will be published in the first half of 2001 in Circular 281, Outlookfor 4ir Transport to the Year 2010. Medium-term forecasts continued to be developed on an annual basis and were published in the ICAO Circular The WorldofCivil Aviation. Ad hoc forecasts were developed as required, e.g. for the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection. The Secretariat serviced regional traffic forecasting groups (including the development of methodologies and procedures to prepare forecasts) formed with the objective of developing traffic forecasts and other planning parameters in the respective ICAO Regions. Work was carried out in the development of business case studies to assist States in the mobilization offunds for the implementation of CNSIATM systems.

Appendix D - Facilitation

On 8 December 1998, the Council adopted Amendment 17 to Annex 9. The Amendment inter alia incorporated into the Annex new or revised SARPs relating to inadmissible persons. In 1999, the Facilitation Panel began a comprehensive review ofAnnex 9 in order to make it more responsive to the needs of its users. Also in 1999, Circular 274 was published containing guidelines on the access to air transport by persons with disabilities.
