The seven ICAO regional offices are ______.

• A. Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Mexico City, Nairobi, Paris
• B. Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Montreal, Nairobi, Paris
• C. Bangkok, Cairo, Lagos, Lima, Mexico City, Nairobi, Paris
• D. Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Mexico City, Lagos, Paris

Answer: (A)

ICAO organizes its regional operations through seven regional offices located in key cities around the world to coordinate with member states. The seven regional offices are in Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Mexico City, Nairobi and Paris. Each city represents a region: Bangkok for Asia and the Pacific; Cairo for Africa and the Middle East; Dakar for West and Central Africa; Lima for South America; Mexico City for North America, Central America and the Caribbean; Nairobi for East Africa and the Indian Ocean region; and Paris for Europe. Other options insert cities that aren’t regional offices—Montreal is ICAO’s headquarters, not a regional office, and Lagos has not been designated as one—so they don’t reflect the official seven regional offices.
