December 7th is Civil Aviation
December 7th is Civil Aviation Day. The date was established by the United Nations (UN) in 1996, as part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Convention, which was signed in 1944 and established the foundations for international civil aviation. The purpose of International Civil Aviation Day is to promote awareness of the importance of civil aviation in global economic and social development, as well as to highlight safety and security in air transport. On this day, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and its member states organize events, campaigns and activities to promote civil aviation and its contributions to society. Civil aviation is crucial in connecting people and cultures, facilitating trade and boosting tourism.
