ACT-SAF Series

Coordination with ACT-SAF partners identified that many States need conceptual training on SAF. 


To address that, ICAO is developing the ACT-SAF Series of training sessions, which is delivering comprehensive training to ACT-SAF Partners on an array of SAF-related topics.


All the sessions are available for watching at icao.tv


Want to participate on the ACT-SAF Series? Join ACT-SAF now (click here to access the ACT-SAF Terms and Conditions). Participation is open to all States and Organizations interested in further action on SAF.
