Detailed History

ICAO was established in 1944 by the Convention on International Civil Aviation (also known as the Chicago Convention). The devastating effects of World War II highlighted the need for international cooperation to manage the rapid growth of civil aviation. The Convention laid the groundwork for a standardized and orderly system of air travel. ICAO has been central to the development of modern air travel, facilitating technological advancements and ensuring a global standard of safety and security.
