Chicago Convention

The Chicago Convention, officially known as the Convention on International Civil Aviation, was signed in 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, by 52 countries. Its primary goal is to establish rules and standards for international air navigation and aviation safety. The convention led to the creation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which oversees these regulations. By promoting cooperation among countries, the Chicago Convention aims to ensure safe and efficient air travel worldwide, addressing issues like flight safety, air traffic management, and the rights of airspace use among nations.
