Ladies and gentlemen, students. This is The Tradesman speaking. We welcome everyone on a quality and conflict-sensitive reportage.
International Civil Aviation Day is observed on December 7th each year. This date commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the Chicago Convention, in 1944.
The purpose of International Civil Aviation Day is to help generate and reinforce worldwide awareness of the importance of international civil aviation to the social and economic development of States and of the unique role of ICAO in helping States cooperate and realize a truly global rapid transit network at the service of all mankind. – United Nations
The importance of aviation as an engine of global connectivity has never been more relevant to the Chicago Convention’s objectives to look to international flight as a fundamental enabler of global peace and prosperity.
75 years after ICAO’s foundation, the International Civil Aviation network carries over four billion passengers annually.
The global Air Transport sector supports 65.5 million jobs and USD 2.7 trillion in global economic activity, with over 10 million women and men working within the industry to ensure 120,000 flights and 12 million passengers a day are carried safely to their destinations.
“Advancing Innovation for Global Aviation Development.”
In line with the theme and in behalf of our writers, we hope you enjoy the rest of the day celebrating innovation for global aviation, and we hope you arrive safely in all your destinations.
