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.
