International Civil Aviation Day

Background:
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 to cooperate and realize a truly global rapid transit network at the service of all mankind.

As the UN and world nations have now adopted Agenda 2030, and embarked on a new era in global sustainable development, 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.

Every five years, coinciding with ICAO anniversaries (2014/2019/2024/2029/etc.), the ICAO Council establishes a special anniversary theme for International Civil Aviation Day. Between these anniversary years, Council representatives select a single theme for the full four-year intervening period.

2023 theme:

The Council has decided that from now until 2023, the theme will be: “Advancing Innovation for Global Aviation Development”.

International Civil Aviation Day helps generate and reinforce worldwide awareness of the importance of international civil aviation to the social and economic development of States, and in helping States to cooperate and realize a truly global rapid transit network at the service of all mankind.

Today, the world also remembers those people who lost their lives in an aviation crash. Aviation demands operational solidarity and uniformity of procedures globally, today the world reaffirms this fact.
As the UN and world nations have now adopted Agenda 2030 and embarked on a new era of global sustainable development, 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.
