Aero-News Quote of the Day

“I commend the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for adopting (the) Declaration on Aviation Security, which forges a historic new foundation for aviation security that will better protect the entire global aviation system from evolving terrorist threats. Following the attempted December 25 terrorist attack, at the President’s direction, the Department of Homeland Security has worked with ICAO and our international partners—including representatives from the private sector ranging from airline CEOs to airport authorities to aviation industry trade associations—at five regional aviation security summits on five continents in an unprecedented effort to strengthen international aviation security."
