From the Paper:

"Aviation today is considered to be a safe option of traveling quickly form one place to another, and the annual growth rate is about 5 % each year. If the International Civil Aviation Organization keeps up and maintains its standards within the aviation industry, then there can be no doubt that air travel and safety would be well taken care of issues. ICAO works in tandem with various other organizations in order to improve standards and norms, and one example is that the ICAO has been actively working with ITU since 1947. The standards for future communications, navigation, as well as for surveillance, referred to as CNS, are important issues for the International Civil Aviation Organization, and these are extremely important in modernizing the aviation and aeronautical infrastructure, and also to provide a means of promoting the growth of air transport in the near future. ("International Civil Aviation Safety, Benefits and Spectrum", 2000) It is to be hoped that the efforts of the Organization would bear fruit, and that the entire aviation industry would become united in one common goal in the near future, that of increasing the safety of air travel for the people of the world."
