Creating an air transport system that is accessible, inclusive and welcoming to all travellers requires collaboration, shared expertise and a collective commitment to removing barriers across every stage of the passenger journey.
With this purpose in mind, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the Second Joint ICAO/ACI/IATA Symposium on Accessibility in International Civil Aviation, taking place on 14 and 15 October 2026 at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, Canada. Under the theme, Advancing Global Commitment to Inclusive and Universally Accessible Air Transport for All, the event will bring together States, Civil Aviation Authorities, airports, airlines, international organizations, industry partners, accessibility experts and civil society to advance solutions that support seamless, dignified, and accessible air travel.
Attending the Symposium offers participants the opportunity to share experiences, explore emerging trends and strengthen partnerships that accelerate progress toward the shared goal of a more inclusive and universally accessible air transport system. Through the sessions outlined in the event programme, delegates will acquire valuable insights that will assist in enhancing the travel experience for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility.
Organizations and companies seeking to demonstrate leadership in this area are also encouraged to explore the Symposium’s sponsorship and exhibition opportunities. In addition to providing a visibility platform, such participation enables the showcasing of innovative products, services, technologies and best practices, as well as direct engagement with aviation decision-makers, policymakers, and accessibility professionals.
Whether you take part as a delegate, sponsor or exhibitor, your involvement will help strengthen global commitment to ensuring that air transport is accessible and inclusive for all. For more information about the Symposium, you may visit the event website.
We look forward to you joining us in Montréal for this important gathering shaping the future of international civil aviation.
