ICAO kui lennundusorganisatsioon ÜRO juures asutati 1944. aastal Chicago kokkuleppega. ICAO peamine eesmärk on töötada välja rahvusvahelise lennuliikluse arengu põhimõtted ning kooskõlastada ja suunata tehnilist arengut üldise lennuliikluse turvalisuse eesmärgil. Organisatsioonil on hetke seisuga 193 liiget. ICAO peakorter asub Montréalis, Kanadas. ICAO praktiline töö assambleel toimub üldjuhul üldistes ja tehnilistes komiteedes ning alamkomiteedes regulaarsete istungite kaudu. 2022. aastal on fookuses järgmised arutelud: konventsionaalsete reeglite ja rahvusvaheliste kohustuste järgimine tulenevalt Rahvusvahelisest tsiviillennunduse konventsioonist (Chicago konventsioonist) ja Venemaa tegevusest seoses sõjalise agressiooniga Ukraina vastu, lennundussektori taastumine COVID- 19 pandeemiast, keskkonnakaitse ja keskkonnaalaste ambitsioonide võtmine ning täitmise korraldamine rahvusvahelisel tasemel, samuti hõlbustamise, lennundusjulgestuse, aeronavigatsiooniteenustega seotud reeglite täiendamine. Lisaks arutatakse ka ICAO kui organisatsiooni ümberkujundamisega seonduvat, kinnitatakse organisatsiooni tööplaan ja eelarve järgmiseks 3-aastaseks perioodiks. Üritus toimub ajavahemikul 27.09-07.10.2022 füüsiliselt, sh tagab ICAO koos Kanada riigiga osalejatele vastavad tingimused ka ajaks kui COVID-19 pandeemia peaks aktiivsemalt levima. Eesmärk on taastada ICAO komiteede praktiline töö ja regulaarsed töökohtumised. Majandus- ja Kommunikatsiooniministeeriumi (edaspidi MKM) ning Transpordiameti esindajate osalemine on vajalik, kuna konverentsi arutelud nõuavad ka ICAO piirkondliku NORDICAO (Eesti ja põhjala riikide esindus ICAO juures) Eesti esinduse osalemist, seisukohtade kujundamist ning aktiivset osavõttu. Päevakorrapunktide detailsem loetelu on esitatud ürituse päevakorras. Assamblee 41. istungil osaleb Eesti delegatsioon järgmises koosseisus: - MKMi lennundusosakonna juhataja Taivo Linnamägi delegatsiooni juhina ning - Transpordiameti lennunduse ohutuse ja järelevalve osakonna juhataja Tanel Rautits delegatsiooni juhi asendajana ning ühtlasi delegatsiooni liikmena. Eesti esindajate lähetuskulud kannavad lähetusse saatvad asutused.
