ICAO requirements for Space Weather – WMO Cg XVI Side Event – 17 May 2011
Background
• Year 2000: New air trans-polar routes opened up between North America and East Asia
• Later: Polar routes across the South Pole
• Today: Approx 8000 trans- or cross-polar routes per year (N and S Poles)

• Polar trajectories are more cost effective for airlines– Shorter, more direct,
long-haul routes– saving fuel and
minimising environmental impact
• …and more convenient for passengers– Less time in the air

Background
• Recognition that aircraft operating on high latitude polar routes could be exposed to hazardous levels of solar radiation that could affect crew and passenger health, communications, navigation and avionics
• Recommendation that an assessment be conducted of the need for the provision of information for international air navigation on solar radiation storms and other bio-hazards
