The 53rd General Assembly in Cape Town, South Africa concluded under the theme “Addressing cyber threats against CNS/ATM systems through collaboration, training, system thinking, and data-driven decision-making” a focus that is expected to carry forward and evolve in Nairobi alongside Africa Region priorities such as ATSEP recognition under ICAO Annex 1, modernization of CNS/ATM infrastructure, and workforce competency. The full Nairobi theme and detailed agenda will be communicated by IFATSEA in subsequent calling notices.
