International Aviation Organization

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized United Nations agency that sets global standards and regulations for civil aviation to ensure safe, secure, and efficient international air travel. It develops policies on issues like aircraft safety, air navigation, and environmental protection. ICAO coordinates cooperation among countries, helping standardize procedures and protocols to facilitate smooth international flights. Essentially, it acts as a global regulatory body that promotes safe and sustainable aviation practices worldwide, ensuring that airlines, airports, and nations share consistent rules to keep air travel reliable and secure for everyone.
