Accréditation Média

Media accreditation enables journalists to register for ICAO events. It is awarded on an annual basis. Media requesting registration for an event who do not already hold accreditation have the opportunity to apply for it as part of the registration process. All events are listed here. Links for requesting media registration and accreditation are provided on event homepages. Journalists should however note that not all events are open to media. Questions regarding media accreditation can be submitted via email to communications [at] icao.int (communications[at]icao[dot]int) .

ICAO reserves the right to refuse or revoke accreditation at any time.

Please be advised that ICAO does not prepare any kind of visa letter or offer any other kind of visa support for media unless the individual concerned holds a State nomination letter.
