Ulaanbaatar, June 3, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Government of Mongolia and the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) will jointly organize the Asia-Pacific Facilitation Regional Forum on Air Transport Facilitation in Ulaanbaatar, on July 7-8, 2025. 


This Facilitation Regional Forum (FALF) coincides with the 75th anniversary of ICAO’s Annex 9 to the Chicago Convention and the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Mongolian Air Force. Mongolia will host representatives from 39 member countries of ICAO across the Asia-Pacific region. The Forum will serve as a strategic platform to strengthen national air transport facilitation programs and committees, enhance border and customs coordination, and promote regional cooperation. Key topics to be discussed during the Forum include the implementation of the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD), passenger data systems such as API and PNR, the United Nations CT Travel Programme, as well as the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation, and smart border control solutions. These efforts collectively contribute to advancing a safe, interconnected, and efficient global air transport system. 


FALF 2025 will offer an opportunity for dialogue among member countries, international experts, and relevant stakeholders to share experiences, discuss emerging challenges, and foster enhanced cooperation across the region.
