December 7, International Civil Aviation Day

The International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO, was founded on December 7, 1944 pursuant to Chicago Convention to foster  the safely and orderly development of international civil air transport.  ICAO codifies the rules and standards for the safety, security and effectiveness of aviation.
 
With its 191 member countries including Turkey, ICAO promotes collaboration in all fields of aviation. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, ICAO proclaimed that December 7 was to be International Civil Aviation Day.

International Civil Aviation Day is annually observed on December 7 to raise awareness of the importance of international civil aviation in the social and economic development of countries and the role that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) plays in international air transport in a quest to ensure safe, secure and orderly international civil air transport. 

We wish a happy International Civil Aviation Day to everyone in the aviation industry.
