Foundation of the New Arab Civil Aviation Headquarters
In a significant development for regional aviation cooperation, Dr. Samah Hefni, the Minister of Civil Aviation of Egypt and current president of the General Assembly of the Arab Civil Aviation Organization, recently attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new headquarters of the organization in Rabat, Morocco. This event took place on the sidelines of the Marrakech Airshow 2026, marking a momentous occasion for the organization, which has been supported by Morocco since its inception in 1996.
The new headquarters project is entirely funded by Morocco's Ministry of Transport and Logistics, reflecting the nation’s commitment to enhancing the operational capabilities of the Arab Civil Aviation Organization. Dr. Hefni emphasized that this new facility is not merely a building but a symbol of Morocco's ongoing support for the organization and its crucial role in fostering cooperation and coordination among Arab countries in the field of civil aviation.
Enhancing Arab Cooperation in Civil Aviation
During the ceremony, Dr. Hefni articulated the importance of this new headquarters in the context of the rapidly evolving aviation sector. He highlighted that the modernized facility will provide a conducive work environment, allowing the organization to effectively implement its programs and initiatives. This development is expected to enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange among member countries, facilitating a stronger and more integrated approach to aviation within the Arab world.
Furthermore, Dr. Hefni pointed out that the current stage necessitates increased coordination and the sharing of insights and experiences among Arab nations to navigate the changing regional and international dynamics. He asserted that the new headquarters will not only improve communication between the organization and its member states but also strengthen its presence in international civil aviation forums, thus amplifying its influence on a global scale.
The planned headquarters will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including administrative and technical offices, as well as meeting rooms for official and bilateral discussions. This modern infrastructure is designed to meet the needs of the organization and provide adequate space for meetings, technical committees, and consultations at both the Arab and international levels.
