Presenters from ICAO, ACI-LAC, IATA, Canada, Costa Rica, Barbados, ASSI (UK Overseas Territories), and industry organizations such as American Airlines and Thales delivered sessions on international air law, regional regulation harmonization, accident investigation obligations, aerodrome certification, air services agreements, RPAS/BVLOS regulation, aviation security, and passenger rights.
