The ultimate strategic direction is to promote aviation meteorology . Aviation is an important economic driver of all countries and aviation meteorology ensures the safety and effectiveness of this industry's operation. WMO member countries need active cooperation to implement aviation meteorological programs, especially the quality management system.

WMO also emphasized that capacity building activities play an essential role in the organization's programs, especially in meteorological and hydrological research activities in developing countries.
