FALF 2025: ASIA AND PACIFIC FACILITATION FORUM TO BE CONVENED IN ULAANBAATAR
The Government of Mongolia, in cooperation with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), will host the Asia and Pacific Facilitation Forum (FALF 2025) on 7–8 July 2025 in Ulaanbaatar. This year’s forum holds special significance as it marks the 75th anniversary of ICAO’s Annex 9 to the Chicago Convention and coincides with the centenary of civil aviation in Mongolia.
Mongolia is honored to welcome representatives from 39 member States across the Asia-Pacific region. The forum will serve as a strategic platform to strengthen National Facilitation Programmes and Committees, enhance border and customs coordination, and promote regional collaboration. Key topics to be addressed include the implementation of the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD), passenger data systems such as API and PNR, the United Nations CT Travel Programme, as well as the integration of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, automation, and smart border control solutions. These efforts collectively contribute to advancing a safe, seamless, and efficient global air transport system.
FALF 2025 will offer an important opportunity for dialogue among States, international experts, and relevant stakeholders to share experiences, discuss emerging challenges, and foster enhanced cooperation across the region.
The Government of Mongolia and ICAO extend a cordial invitation to policymakers from Asia-Pacific member States, border control, customs and civil registration authorities, air carriers, airport operators, and all relevant entities to participate in this significant regional event.
Registration is open until 23 June 2025, with total participation limited to 120 delegates.
