States are requested to provide ICAO with the actions taken to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 by air transport aiming at protecting the health of air travelers and the aviation personnel in accordance with the ICAO Annex 11 provisions.
As there is urgent need to reduce the risks of the spread of COVID-19 by air transport and to protect the health of air travelers and aviation personnel, contingency arrangements should be provided, as necessary, as it is incumbent upon the air navigation services provider (ANSP) to ensure that information on exceptions are detailed in the subsequent promulgation of NOTAM. Contingency arrangements should consider potential reduction of staffing across air navigation services personnel, particularly, centres providing ATS and aerodrome services. |
