Having grown up in a world of air travel, it’s hard to imagine that it was just 80 years ago that significant steps were being taken in the establishment of what is now the global air transport system.     When 700 delegates met at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago for 37 days in late 1944, the world war which had ravaged many countries was still raging. And yet these negotiators were already putting in place a system that would make use of the advances in aerospace that the war had helped accelerate.    Today, I am in Chicago to celebrate this milestone with ICAO – in the same spot where the Chicago Convention was signed. Honouring 80 years of collaboration, progress, and innovation in global aviation, we handed over an industry declaration to ICAO to reaffirm the sector’s commitment to a safe, sustainable, and connected future for aviation.    In my blog post, I reflect on the achievements made and share my thoughts on how to future proof aviation for the next 80 years.    Find the blog post here (https://lnkd.in/eDV6fNAE) and the industry declaration here: https://lnkd.in/e9sMbbjm #aviationbenefits #ICAO80

ICAO’s New Journey: Becoming Fit for Aviation’s Future. Today, on 7 December 2024, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Chicago Convention. This landmark agreement, signed by 52 nations in 1944 during a period of significant global uncertainty, transformed aviation into a powerful force for connection, innovation, and cooperation. The Convention laid the groundwork for the modern international air transport system that we depend on today. PMC Global Aviation proudly supports this commemoration, recognizing the Chicago Convention's pivotal role in shaping the global aviation landscape. We are committed to continuing the legacy of innovation and cooperation that the Convention represents.

Celebrating International Aviation Day: A Global Tribute to the Power of Flight Today, we mark International Aviation Day, a celebration of the remarkable achievements of aviation and its vital role in connecting the world. Established in 1994 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), this day honors the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation in 1944, an agreement that laid the foundation for safe and efficient global air travel. The United Nations officially recognized International Aviation Day in 1996, emphasizing the significance of aviation in fostering economic growth, cultural exchange, and international cooperation. The day serves as a reminder of how aviation transcends borders, enabling businesses to thrive, families to reunite, and aid to reach those in need during times of crisis. As we reflect on the transformative impact of aviation, let this day inspire continued innovation and collaboration as we look to a future where aviation continues to elevate possibilities and connect humanity. #InternationalAviationDay #Aviation #GlobalConnectivity #InnovationInFlight

ATR has announced an order with Air Tahiti for four new ATR 72-600 aircraft and an eight-year Global Maintenance Agreement (GMA) on the third day of the Farnborough International Airshow 2024. The new regional airliners are set to be delivered between 2025 and 2028. “Air Tahiti has been a cornerstone in Tahiti and its islands for more than 65 years, facilitating not just travel but a better quality of life,” Edouard Wong Fat, CEO of Air Tahiti, noted. “By ensuring our communities have easy access to essential goods, services, and cultural experiences, we’ve also helped boost the local economy and tourism. The ATR fleet has been pivotal in these efforts and it will continue to enable us to offer reliable and responsible connectivity.” The GMA, ATR’s comprehensive maintenance package, will optimize operations and reduce costs through repair, overhaul, and pooling services. Air Tahiti currently operates a fleet of 11 ATR 72-600s and ATR 42-600s to serve Tahiti and its surrounding islands. The additional aircraft will help the airline increase flight frequency and capacity. #aviation #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aviationgeek #ATR #ATR72_600 #atr72600 #airlines #AirTahiti #airlines #SasidharanMurugan #Itzmemsd
