D-8 activities in Civil Aviation cooperation have proved to be very promising. With a population around 1 billion, 15% of world population, there is abundance of technical and qualified human resources and opportunities available in this field among D-8 community. This potential necessitates us to focus our attention even more as we proceed to consolidate our commonalities for the potential on air transportation between the D-8 Member Countries in the future.
