Aviation plays a key role in reducing distances between countries and peoples, enabling the fast and efficient movement of people and goods around the world. The day aims to highlight the contribution of civil aviation to peace, trade and tourism, and in promoting international efforts to combat global challenges. International Civil Aviation Day also serves as a reminder of the importance of aviation safety and the sustainability of air travel. This day encourages us to celebrate achievements in this field and continue to work to improve aviation technology and standards to ensure safe and secure air travel.
