Yesterday the President Of Zimbabwe @edmnangagwa ground broke the expansion and development project of RG Mugabe International Airport. After the 3 year works the new airport will look like.

Mission accomplished...... Congratulations to the ICAO ESAF ROST Mission for a successful assistance mission to Zimbabwe. As we conclude, Zimbabwe reaffirms its commitment to improving compliance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices. Reviewing and updating our aviation legislation will provide the foundation for implementation. We will accelerate full implementation of our State Safety Program and ensure our national strategic plan aligns with the Global Aviation Safety Plan so we keep pace with international best practice. Redefining safety regulation is not about grand gestures .It’s about consistency, a steadfast commitment to excellence, and resilience in the face of setbacks. Every small positive step matters; progress grows in those moments. Thank you to all participants from the Civil Aviation Authority for your active engagement over the past four days. Together, we will turn commitments into measurable action. #AviationSafety #ICAO #SSP #GASP #Zimbabwe @ATCAZW @AIMOAZ1
