Presenting a joint industry working paper to the 40th session of the ICAO Assembly in Montréal, Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) executive director, Michael Gill, said: “In addition to the 65.5 million jobs currently supported by aviation, the connectivity provided by rapid, modern and safe transport systems helps to build business opportunities, bring together families and connect communities around the world.
"With the growth in air transport expected to support almost 100 million jobs by 2036, there are very real benefits that come from backing a robust aviation system, including support for most of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
