Civil aviation refers to the operation of non-military aircraft for the purpose of transporting passengers and cargo. It encompasses all flights conducted by private and commercial airlines, as well as general aviation activities like flying clubs and private pilots. Civil aviation plays a crucial role in connecting people and businesses across the globe.
Regulated by national and international authorities, civil aviation ensures safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) set standards and guidelines for air travel. Airports, air traffic control, and airline companies are essential components of this industry, facilitating the movement of millions of travelers each year.
