Convention on International Civil Aviation

The Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the Chicago Convention, is an international treaty established in 1944 that sets standard rules for the safety, security, and operation of international civil flights. It created the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to coordinate and oversee these standards globally. The treaty promotes cooperation among countries to ensure safe, efficient, and orderly air travel, including regulations on aircraft design, air traffic management, and environmental considerations. Essentially, it provides the legal framework that allows airplanes to fly smoothly and safely across different nations.
