PASO CM 2025

Pacific Aviation Safety Council Meeting 2025

November 10, 2025

The Pacific Aviation Safety Office (PASO) Council held its meeting at Warwick Le Lagon, Port Vila, Vanuatu from 3rd–5th November 2025, under the inspiring theme:

                                         “Safer Skies, Connected Lives – Our Pacific Vision”

PASO Chairman, Mr. Fiu Mau Simanu, and the Deputy Prime Minister of Solomon Islands, Hon. Frederick Kologeto, warmly welcomed delegates, partners, and aviation leaders from across the Pacific region, with special acknowledgements to the Republic of Vanuatu as the Host State.

Over the three days, members came together to collaborate on strengthening aviation safety, security, regional connectivity, and partnerships across our Pacific skies. The meeting served as a platform to collectively identify forward-looking solutions and address the challenges faced by the aviation sector in their respective States.

Meeting Highlights include,

  1. Adoption of PASO Strategic Intent Paper – shaping a clearer strategic direction for PASOs work in supporting our member states to enable a stronger, safer aviation future for the region.
  2. Endorsement of the Comprehensive Oversight Implementation Framework(COIF), which will guide PASOs work in not only enhancing compliance support to members but also supporting members in developing more robust regulatory systems. The COIF is currently piloted by Cook Islands, Vanuatu and Nauru.
  3. Signing of a new partnership between PASO and PNG’s Accident Investigation Commission (AIC) – a huge step for the Pacific, by the Pacific!

Chairman Mr. Fiu Mau Simanu shared an inspiring reminder at the opening ceremony:

“PASO belongs to all of us – its success depends on our shared ownership and commitment.”

PASO further extends appreciation to our Host State,the Republic of Vanuatu, Our donor partners, MFAT, DFAT and World Bank for their continued support in enabling PASO to realise its goals and strategic objectives.

Together, we continue to build a safer, stronger, and more connected Pacific!
