During the ICAO 218th council session held on November 22, 2019 in Montreal, the Chairman of the ICAO council requested recognition of IASO International Aviation Services Organization among the list of organizations invited to attend official meetings of ICAO. 

The council has accepted this recommendation and IASO has become an accredited ICAO organization effective November 22, 2019.  IASO will be included in the list of international organizations that will be invited to attend suitable ICAO meetings as an observer.

The IASO was established by founder and Chairman Munir Kahlifa, cofounder Samir H. Al Asadi, CEO Capt. Samir Sajet and a board of directors with international experience. It began operations in Dubai in September 2015 to support the interests of aviation services companies all over the world. On May 23, 2016, it was officially registered as a nonprofit   organization in Geneva, Switzerland. The IASO has five regional offices: Gothenburg, Sweden; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Montreal, Canada; Orlando, Florida; and Cairo, Egypt. The IASO strives to advance common industry practices, solve challenges, and improve collaboration and mutual understanding between key decision-makers, providers, and other regulators of the aviation services industry. Its goal is to create strong industry representation worldwide and shed light on the benefits of aviation to both national and worldwide economies.
