Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention)

The Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly known as the Chicago Convention, was signed in 1944 and established the framework for international air travel. It creates rules for air navigation and emphasizes the importance of safety, security, and efficiency in aviation. The convention also set up the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which helps countries coordinate on air transport issues, standardize regulations, and promote collaboration. Ultimately, the Chicago Convention aims to ensure that air travel is safe and accessible worldwide, fostering global connectivity and cooperation among nations.
