The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is set to host its first Advanced Air Mobility Symposium (AAM 2024) from September 9 to 12, 2024, in Montréal, Canada. The theme for the symposium is "Advanced air mobility (AAM) global harmonization and interoperability: Challenges and opportunities." This event marks a significant milestone in the AAM industry, focusing on the global harmonization and interoperability of advanced air mobility systems.
AAM 2024 aims to gather representatives from government, industry, academia, and international organizations to discuss the future of advanced air mobility. The symposium will build upon the developments of DRONE ENABLE, with particular attention given to concepts for safe, secure, and efficient integration of AAM into global airspace. This includes discussions on regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, operational challenges, and the potential societal impacts of AAM.
By hosting this symposium, ICAO is facilitating an essential dialogue among key stakeholders in the AAM ecosystem. The event will provide a platform for networking, sharing of insights, and exploration of the breadth of existing technologies, ongoing research, and development in the field. It represents a concerted effort to address and navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for advanced air mobility on a global scale.
