As COVID-19 contingency measures begin to be lifted and services start to resume, States and Operators need to plan for the lifting of COVID-19 related extension and exemptions, and anticipate the needs as a result of deferred certificate validity renewals stacking up (i.e., the "bow wave") and other deferred actions. In line with safety management principles, ICAO has developed a tool to support States and organizations in their planning activities related to the aftermath of COVID-19 alleviation measures.

The primary context of the tool is the management of a possible backlog due to reduced activities during the COVID-19 crisis. The tool will also help States visualize the alleviations granted and establish a dialogue with operators to anticipate the demand of services better.

The webinar aims to create awareness of the issue and introduce the Monitoring and Planning Tool, to help States review the effect of alleviations granted and plan for normal resumption of activities using a data-driven approach
