All non-military aviation is called civil aviation. This involves the flight activities of the private and commercial sectors. Civil aviation plays a huge role in the social and economic development of countries around the world.
Civil aviation is a vital component of peace and prosperity. For these reasons, people across the globe celebrate International Civil Aviation Day every year on December 7th.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established this day in 1994. Two years later, the UN adopted a resolution that officially recognized this day.
