The ICAO Council, the International Civil Aviation Organizations’ governing body, has elected Italy’s Salvatore Sciacchitano as it new president. Sciacchitano, whose three-year term begins Jan. 1, 2020, succeeds Dr. Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu of Nigeria, who has held the position since 2014.

The new ICAO Council president is a former director general of RAI, the Italian airworthiness authority, and a former deputy director general of ENAC, Italy’s civil aviation authority. He has held numerous executive positions during a 39-year aviation career and was executive secretary of the European Civil Aviation Conference from 2010 to 2018.

Sciacchitano recently was appointed to the Italian delegation to the ICAO Council.
