7 December
In 1996, the General Assembly proclaimed 7 December as International Civil Aviation Day, and urged governments, as well as national, regional, international and intergovernmental organisations, to take steps to observe it (resolution 51/33 of 6 December).
The Day had been declared in 1992 by the Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a United Nations specialised agency, to highlight and advance the benefits of international civil aviation. Observation of the Day started on 7 December 1994 -- the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which established ICAO.
