World Civil Aviation Day – First Saturday in December
In 1944, delegates from 54 nations gathered in Chicago. They signed the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Additionally, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) formed during this time. To mark its 50th anniversary, the ICAO established International Civil Aviation Day in 1994. Two years later, in 1996, the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution officially recognizing December 7th as International Civil Aviation Day.
