Description

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Council’s Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) was established shortly after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March 2020.

The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on air travel and the aviation industry. During the depths of the pandemic, operational levels were a small fraction of pre-pandemic levels.

CART is strategically focused work group convened by the ICAO Council to anticipate challenges generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is intended to “provide practical, aligned guidance to industry operators in order to restart the international air transport sector and recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on a coordinated global basis,” according to ICAO.
