🇲🇳✈️ The Wicks Group Returns to Mongolia in Support of FAA IASA Category 1 Initiative

The Wicks Group (TWG) recently returned to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to continue providing technical assistance to the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia (CAAM) in support of the country’s preparations for a future U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) and its objective of achieving Category 1 status.

During the visit, TWG leadership and technical experts worked closely with CAAM counterparts to review progress under the ongoing Aviation Safety Standards Technical Assistance (ASSTA) Project. Discussions focused on strengthening Mongolia’s aviation safety oversight system, advancing regulatory initiatives, building inspector and technical capacity, and continuing implementation of corrective actions identified through TWG’s technical assistance.

Achieving FAA Category 1 status represents an important milestone in Mongolia’s efforts to strengthen its aviation safety oversight capabilities and advance the conditions necessary for future direct air service between Mongolia and the United States.

TWG appreciates the continued collaboration and engagement of CAAM, Mongolia’s government leaders, and other aviation stakeholders as this important initiative moves forward.

We look forward to continuing our work alongside our Mongolian partners to strengthen aviation safety, regulatory oversight, and international connectivity.

Preparing for a U.S. FAA International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) audit is one of the most consequential undertakings a civil aviation authority can face — and one of the areas we know best.

The full talk is now available to view on our YouTube page 🎥

In Memoriam – Camille Nahas

It is with great sadness that we recognize the loss of one of our former colleagues, Camille Nahas. Camille worked at The Wicks Group during the summer of 2017 as she was considering attending law school. Following her time at TWG, Camille earned her Master's degree from Pepperdine University, graduating summa cm laude and dedicated her career to serving others as a therapist.

Though her time with us was short, Camille will always be remembered as a valuable part of The Wicks Group and a bright, kind and hard working young professional. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences are with Camille's loved ones during this difficult time.

Camille will be missed.
