Civil aviation refers to the operation of non-military aircraft for commercial and private purposes. It includes scheduled airline services, charter flights, and general aviation activities. Civil aviation plays a crucial role in connecting people and goods across the globe, contributing significantly to the economy and tourism. The regulatory framework for civil aviation is established by organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which sets safety and operational standards. Airports, air traffic control systems, and various aviation services support civil aviation, ensuring safe and efficient air travel for passengers and cargo alike.
