Today air transport is becoming closer to people’s life, and it greatly influences the development of relations between countries and political, economic and cultural development on a worldwide scale.
The history of development of air transport is related to that of aircraft.
In particular, aircraft production rapidly developed after the Second World War, ensuring great progress in global civil air transport as well. Thus, people became able to fly across the world and cooperation between countries got closer.
Brisk operation of aircraft, however, also endangered the security of mankind. This required the establishment of an international organization that would be able to prevent friction among different countries in air transport, ensure safe, regular and efficient international civil aviation and develop international air transport activities soundly on the basis of equality.
An international civil aviation conference held in 1944 adopted the Convention on International Civil Aviation which stipulates practical issues arising in international air transport. Based on the Convention, the International Civil Aviation Organization was established in 1947.
As a specialized agency of the United Nations, the ICAO established international rules for ensuring the security of civil aircraft and serving the convenience of passengers and has encouraged member states to strengthen mutual cooperation in abiding by them.
The DPRK has channelled great efforts into the development of the civil aviation sector so far.
The Korean Civil Aviation Bureau was established in September 1955 when the postwar rehabilitation was under way. This served as an occasion of great significance for the development of the country’s civil aviation sector.
The DPRK, which joined the ICAO in 1977, fully discharges its mission and duty.
While upgrading its airports, it has produced light planes with its own efforts and technology to contribute to the people's leisure activities.
It also strengthens cooperation with other countries in civil aviation and makes a positive contribution to the development of international civil aviation.
December 7 is Day of International Civil Aviation.
