Videoconference, 9 December 2025 — The European Coordination Group on Facilitation (ECG-FAL) held its final meeting of 2025 to launch preparations for the upcoming ICAO Facilitation Panel in April 2026 in Montreal.
During the meeting, experts shared initial proposals for their own papers to be submitted to the Panel, either individually or in partnership with other States or observer organisations. Several priority topics emerged, including irregular migration, crew member certificates, unruly passengers, and accessibility.
This early preparation will help build momentum and ensure well-prepared contributions ahead of the Panel’s next meeting, expected to take place in February 2026.
