Uzbekistan's "Uzaviation" Agency has approved updated aviation rules fully based on the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The documents cover air traffic services, aeronautical charts, and the work of aeronautical information services.

The new acts were registered with the Ministry of Justice and developed in accordance with the provisions of Annex 11 "Air Traffic Services" to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. In addition, the Agency's director approved normative and technical documents on aeronautical charts and aeronautical information services.

ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that coordinates international cooperation in civil aviation. Its main goal is to ensure the safe and orderly development of international aviation worldwide. ICAO develops international standards and recommended practices that set requirements for flight safety, air traffic services, aeronautics, airport operations, and other technical aspects of aviation. Based on these, states develop and update their own aviation rules.

The organization's work also affects specific elements of the aviation system. For example, ICAO assigns four-letter codes to airports, used in flight plans, aeronautical and meteorological information, as well as on aviation charts. The organization also participates in shaping unified approaches to airspace organization and interaction between aviation services of different countries.

Thus, ICAO standards enable aviation systems of different states to operate under comparable rules. This is especially important for international flights, where aircraft cross the airspace of several countries. Earlier, it was reported that Uzbekistan is launching a specialized airfield calibration service — a separate aviation structure will be responsible for the accuracy of each landing.
