The ICAO SAM Regional Workshop on Assistance to Aircraft Accident Victims and Their Families (AAAVF) will take place at the ICAO SAM Regional Office in Lima, Peru, from 1 to 3 December 2026, under the auspices of the Government of Spain.
The workshop aims to strengthen States’ understanding and implementation of ICAO provisions on assistance to aircraft accident victims and their families, including Annexes 9 and 13, relevant ICAO Assembly Resolutions and the ICAO Policy on Assistance to Aircraft Accident Victims and Their Families (Doc 9998).
Through experience sharing, case studies and practical exercises, participants will explore the development, implementation and testing of Family Assistance Plans. Bringing together policymakers, civil aviation authorities, airlines, airports and other relevant stakeholders, the workshop will promote timely, coordinated and transparent assistance that respects the dignity and privacy of victims and their families.
