DESCRIPTION
This Implementation Package (iPack) is a self-contained package to assist and guide Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) in the implementation of ICAO Annex 9 —
Facilitation provisions related to the National Air Transport Facilitation Programme (NATFP) for establishing effective oversight mechanisms. It includes relevant documentation, tools, and an optional virtual classroom course to assist the process. A dedicated subject matter expert will work remotely with the CAA, providing guidance in their implementation efforts to achieve the objectives of the iPack. The level of progress made in achieving each iPack objective depends on the availability of CAA’s resources to perform the work.
