On 7th of December we celebrate the International Civil Aviation Day, which generates awareness about the importance of international civil aviation. This annual observance also recognizes the unique role civil aviation plays in creating a global rapid transit network.
The importance of international civil aviation cannot be understated. To have a bigger picture, check out the following statistics:
- The International Civil Aviation network carries over 4 billion passengers a year.
- The global Air Transport sector supports 65.5 million jobs.
- It creates a global economic activity worth 2.7 trillion dollars.
- Each day 120,000 flights carry 12 million passengers safely to their destination.
- 3.6 percent of the global economic activity is supported by this industry.
We admire and respect pilots, flight attendants, traffic controllers, ground handling crews, engineers, mechanics, computer technicians and all of the people who work in the aviation industry. You’re doing
a wonderful job every day! Thank you!
