The ICAO Flying Forest Fire Fighting (I4F) Dialogue aims at exchanging the information on existing activities, technologies and arrangements and facilitating the cooperation on aviation forest fire fighting activities among States and other relevant stakeholders, by sharing knowledge, experience and resources as well as by discussing possible areas of improvements and cooperation under the auspices of ICAO.

The I4F Dialogue will serve as a platform to exchange best practices, initiatives and strengthen international cooperation for aerial firefighting action. Please join us for this unique opportunity to know more on international firefighting practices and on aviation solutions and opportunities to support these crucial actions worldwide.
