From May 4 to 6, 2026, the ICAO Civil Aviation Master Planning (CAMP) Workshop was held in Athens, focusing on modern approaches to the development of civil aviation master plans.
The event was organized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in cooperation with the aviation authorities of Greece. The workshop brought together representatives of civil aviation administrations and international experts from Europe and Central Asia. Among the participants were ICAO officials and representatives, including Nicolas Rallo, Regional Director of the ICAO European and North Atlantic Office, as well as delegations from Greece, Italy, Austria, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and other countries of the region.
The discussions focused on long-term planning and the sustainable development of the aviation industry. Participants reviewed international experience in the preparation and implementation of:
* airport master plans;
* master plans for air navigation service providers;
* institutional development programs for civil aviation authorities;
* financing mechanisms for aviation infrastructure;
* tools to ensure the sustainable growth of the aviation sector.
Special attention was given to the differences between strategic sector development plans and civil aviation master plans, which are increasingly becoming an important instrument for the systematic development of aviation infrastructure and effective sector governance.
