Today is Int’l Civil Aviation Day 2021

Dhaka: The International Civil Aviation Day is celebrated worldwide on December 7 every year to generate and reinforce worldwide awareness about the importance of international civil aviation to the social and economic development of states, and the unique role of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in helping States to cooperate and realise a truly global rapid transit network at the service of all mankind.

Every five years, coinciding with ICAO anniversaries, 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.

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

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.
