When is International Civil Aviation Day? When and how is Russian Civil Aviation Day celebrated? How is World Civil Aviation Day celebrated?
Professional holiday “International civil aviation"is celebrated in our country annually on December 7th. It was established in 1992, and its creation was initiated by the UN General Assembly.
The UN called on all countries to celebrate this holiday accordingly. The Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization is a specialized agency of the UN. This holiday was created to draw attention to the successes of international civil aviation and their expansion.
Civil aviation of Russia
It can be said that civil aviation has long become a necessity in our modern world . Today we simply could not imagine our life without airplanes. Airplanes help people travel vast distances in the most as soon as possible. Airplanes move in the air at great speed. If they were not there, it would take much more time to cover distances. Cities and countries seem to have become closer to each other.
began to be celebrated on December 7, 1994. This date coincided with the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation in Chicago. But this holiday became truly official in 1996, when it was supported by a resolution of the UN General Assembly. Since then, various festive events have been held annually on this day, summing up results and celebrating the successes of international civil aviation.
In 1923, the first passenger airline was opened in the USSR on the route Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod. Its length was 420 kilometers. The opening of this air line led to the need to create the All-Russian Society of Voluntary Air Fleet. It was called "Dobrolet". The USSR Ministry of Civil Aviation was created in 1964. On February 9, a resolution was adopted on the organization of the Civil Aviation Council. This day is considered to be the date of birth of civil aviation in our country.
The holiday “International Civil Aviation Day” is celebrated all over the world not only by aviators, but also by other people related to civil aviation.
As you know, the 20th century was a time of many technical discoveries. These discoveries significantly changed and simplified people's lives. Aeronautics can certainly be called one of the most famous discoveries of this time. The first aircraft in our country began to be used only in the First world war. But after a few years it worked well enough for us a large number of civil aviation lines. And soon after this there was a need to develop general rules behavior in the air. To this end, in Chicago on December 7, 1944, the governments different countries The Convention on International Civil Aviation was promulgated and opened for signature. This was necessary for further development civil aviation, in order to make this mode of transport as safe and orderly as possible.
It must be said that the last decades for civil aviation in our country have not been the best in its history. This is due to insufficient funding and the deterioration of the aircraft fleet. In this regard, flights of domestically produced aircraft were even limited over Europe. They are increasingly being replaced in airline fleets by Western aircraft.
However, we can only be glad that civil aviation in Russia still continues to function quite actively. Aviation gives people speed of movement in space. Humanity has always strived for this, and finally, it was achieved in the 20th century. The advent of aviation was a huge impetus in the development of civilization.
It should be noted that civil aviation is used not only for transporting passengers. This includes the transportation of mail and cargo; various search and rescue operations; civil aviation is also involved in agriculture, the oil and gas industry, and construction. It includes not only airplanes, but also helicopters.
Civil aviation is a branch of the national economy. It has a fleet of airplanes and helicopters, a network of airlines, airports, airfields, and has its own educational institutions and research institutions. With the help of civil aviation, forests are studied and protected from fires, the development of regions of the Far North, and servicing fishing and hunting industries. Air ambulance has also gained great importance.
The development of civil aviation proceeded at a very fast pace. It took it only 60 years to become one of the most popular and sought-after types of passenger transport. It can be said that world history Aviation in its modern sense began in 1901. Then the American inventor Orville Wright made the first controlled flight on aircraft which was heavier than air. This historical event happened nearby in the state North Carolina. This first airplane was invented and assembled by two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright. He stayed in the air for only 12 seconds and managed to cover a distance of 36.5 meters during this time. Immediately after this first attempt, three more flights were conducted, one of which lasted almost a minute.
It is interesting to note that the inventors of the aircraft were confident that their creation would bring great benefits to humanity and would only serve the cause of peace. The Wright brothers sincerely believed this, but this belief was wrong. Airplanes began to be actively used during the First World War. Then people realized what an indispensable and effective weapon these new vehicles could become.

From the net:
On August 12, 1912, on board the royal yacht “Standard” in Novy Svet Bay, Russian Emperor Nicholas II, in an order to the treasury on the financing of aviation detachments, wrote in his own hand: “Therefore be it!” On the same day, an order was issued in the military department, which transferred all issues of aeronautics and aviation from the jurisdiction of the Main Engineering Directorate to the newly created Aeronautical Unit of the Main Directorate of the General Staff. In fact, then the beginning of the organizational formation of the Russian Air Force was laid, but there was no talk of celebrating this day, in its modern sense.
For the first time, USSR Air Fleet Day, both for military and civil aviators, was celebrated on August 18, 1933, in honor of the fact that on August 18, 1923, a civil aviation supervision service was created. The event was held on the basis of a resolution of the Council of People's Commissars, which stated that the holiday should be used to promote the widespread popularity of military and civil aviation, as well as to demonstrate achievements in the field of aviation technology and aviation construction as a powerful means of strengthening military and civil aviation. At the same time, it was prescribed to celebrate USSR Air Fleet Day annually on the third Sunday of August.
According to established tradition, on USSR Air Fleet Day, people involved in military and civil aviation celebrated their professional holiday together. As a rule, open days were held at airfields, and modern aviation equipment was demonstrated to everyone. The pilots showed their high flying skills, coordination and skill. This was the case before the Great Patriotic War, and after, until the collapse of the USSR.
Although it would seem that after the victory in the Great Patriotic War, where only 2,420 military pilots were awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union, moreover, 65 pilots became them twice, and Alexander Pokryshkin and Ivan Kozhedub - three times, in my opinion, it was necessary to establish a holiday for military aviators glorifying their heroic profession. However, this did not happen. Moreover, in modern Russia, after the collapse of the USSR, the holiday of aviators, in accordance with the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation of September 28, 1992 “On the establishment of the Russian Air Fleet Day holiday,” continued to be celebrated on the third Sunday in August. Moreover, it was also celebrated by both military and civilian aviators together.
The military did not entirely agree with this approach, which is obviously why they began to have their own holidays. Thus, by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Defense Forces N 300 in 1996, Aviation Day of the Air Defense Forces was established (January 22). In the same year, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, by order N 253, established Navy Aviation Day (July 17). It was already celebrated before - Army Aviation Day (October 28).
But, as they say, historical justice has triumphed. Considering that on August 12, 1912, in fact, Russian military aviation was officially born, by Decree of the President of Russia N 949 of 1997, August 12 began to be celebrated as Russian Air Force Day.
And yet, when clarity is brought into the celebration of professional holidays of military and civil aviators, it should be noted that the basis of these events is traditionally the display of aviation equipment and the flying skills of its use. In this regard, I would like to remind you that the traditions of such a celebration date back to 1909, when the first celebration dedicated to aircraft took place on Khodynskoye Field.
Happy holiday everyone. Towards the spear, take glasses with the appropriate number of edges and for the health of the flyers - go ahead! And with a song. And there is a proposal from everyone to send a letter to Putin about legalization on August 18. in the afternoon of the Russian Air Force in order to avoid health losses from the 12th to the 18th from now on. Hurray, hurray, hurray!!!

YES!!! Today the Native plant NAPO also celebrated..
Another WONDERFUL flight today for the factory workers and “spectators” of the city! Su-34!!! Many Novosibirsk residents probably saw (or heard) how this happened... He spun loops, barrels, passed low... and made noise throughout the whole city... Unfortunately, the cloud cover was low, so he often went into the clouds...
Happy holiday!
Working in the air is associated with daily risk, heavy loads and stress for the whole body. The profession of heroes, it is respected, admired, people strive for it, it is worthy of awards and generous, loud celebrations and congratulations on the dem of aviation. Aviation holidays are those days on which you simply must congratulate your friends and relatives working in this field. About and congratulations on aviation day read below.
If the heavens have opened for you
So you are winged wizards,
And wondrous expanses stretched out,
And you soar from dawn to dusk.
Life is trusted every day
Hundreds, thousands or more people
Everyone entrusts their hearts and souls to you,
May they be carried into the distance faster!
Take care of them, take care and store them,
To avoid trouble,
Carry me on your wings,
We will always pray for you!
Of course, such a large-scale, multifaceted profession associated with daily risk has more than one date for celebration.
- The successes of aviation on an international scale could not go unnoticed. In 1992, the UN General Assembly established the holiday “International Civil Aviation Day”, which has since been celebrated on December 7th.

Air fleet great holiday
We single him out among many.
And it is collected in the hearts of the most diverse
Whose exploits we don’t even know about.
Heroes, quickly soaring into the skies,
Risking my life every day for you
Whose stripe is infinitely continuous,
Both take-off and your own.
Civilian or military
We honor you each and congratulate you,
Immortal, steel and immortal,
We wish you from the whole world:
Take off... fly... fly...
Always, at any time of the year,
So that the angel can give his protection,
And in sunny days, and in bad weather!
How to congratulate a pilot?
If a person close to you has connected his life with heaven and such a special profession as a pilot, then you should be congratulated in a special way. Choose beautiful words that reflect the essence of the profession, create an unforgettable environment and, of course, interesting gifts.
Why were wings given to man?
To soar into the sky endlessly
How small the particles of the planet are from above,
And the little people are not visible at all.
You're soaring up, you're soaring up
Every day, keeping your finger on the pulse
Responsible for life, responsible for everyone,
So, beautifully soaring above the earth and circling!
We wish you health, strength and patience,
We always wish you good weather
May good luck fly with you,
And there will never be bad hours!
Probably the most wonderful holiday feeling for pilots is being at home with their family, so don't suggest going out to restaurants or other establishments. The holiday should be a family one, unless, of course, it is already a corporate event.
Fly pilot, fly, take off
Be above everyone every day
And throw away all your strength,
Land without interference!
And they fly on your sides
May your angels
And they are watching you
All the way to the ground!
Holiday decoration at home.
Order a cake in the shape of a steering wheel or a uniform cap, you can arrange lunch as if on an airplane, serve all the dishes on platters and in disposable packages, but, of course, exclusively home-cooked. Or prepare them in the shape of an airplane, emblems and other flight paraphernalia, give interesting names related to this profession. For example, come up with cocktails and name them in an original way, “Runway”, “Turbulence Zone” or “Seven Thousand Above the Ground”. Decorate the salads and also name them – “Chassis”, “Rudder”, “Gangway” (for the color palette we use black olives, brown nuts, purple onions and cabbage). Place the hot dish on a platter in the shape of an airplane or airline logo.
Hang small ones around the apartment paper airplanes, balls and other little things associated with air.
Corporate
Invitation to a banquet in the form of tickets. The service staff at your banquet should dress in the uniform of the company that is celebrating, and hand out “takeoff and landing” candy at the entrance. Decorate the hall balloons choose appropriate music with the airline logos, periodically diluting it with announcements heard on planes and airports.
Chairs can imitate the appearance of airplane seats, for example, they can be equipped with headrests or seat belts. Dishes can be served in disposable containers, foil, or simply reflect a specialized theme.
Organize the event itself in the form of a flight, an exotic trip, an exam for employees of the air industry, or an unscheduled landing. In a retro style, for example, “Flight of the 60s”, or maybe, on the contrary, “Heaven, 3100” and so on.
Present
It is very difficult to surprise a person who has seen many times more than you, but you still need to try. One option is to approach the issue with humor and give him a ticket for a train, bus or sea vessel for some tour of cities or European countries. Present a model of an airplane, cufflinks or a cigarette case with symbols, a personalized watch, a comfortable leather chair, like in the cockpit.
Of course, these are exclusively themed gifts and holiday nuances; you can choose topics completely unrelated to flying.
Lines of congratulations.
Pilots, flight attendants and flight attendants! Every third person in the world has at least once trusted you with their lives and the lives of their loved ones. And you, at the highest level, have coped with this task millions of times. And all because you have neither professionalism, nor courage, nor courage, nor dedication. With all our hearts, on your holiday, we would like to wish you, most importantly, health! After all, only it gives you the opportunity to soar into the skies, and for us to be in good hands. Incredible luck, on which our destinies also depend. Cloudless skies, endless expanses, the strongest guardian angels and thousands of flight hours ahead! Happy holiday to you, heavenly employees of the flight industry!

‑ a professional holiday of aviators and workers of the country's aviation infrastructure. This day is celebrated on Russian Federation annually, on the third Sunday of August in accordance with the resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation dated September 28, 1992 “On the establishment of the Russian Air Fleet Day holiday.”
Previously, since 1933, this holiday was celebrated as USSR Air Fleet Day. It was established by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated April 28, 1933 "On the celebration of the Day of the Air Fleet of the USSR" in honor of the outstanding achievements of scientists, aircraft designers, flight and technical personnel of the Air Force in strengthening the defense capability of the Soviet state.
The holiday was established both for military and civil aviators, as well as for the developers and creators of aircraft.
By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated October 1, 1980 “On holidays and memorable days,” the date of celebration of USSR Air Fleet Day was moved to the third Sunday in August.
In 1970, the USSR became a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
In 1972, regular flights began on the new mainline Tu-154 aircraft.
In 1973, a decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR “On measures to improve flight safety in civil aviation” was issued.
From this date, a new qualitative stage in the formation and development of the air traffic control (ATC) system in the country began.
After Russia declared sovereignty in 1991, a new stage began in the history of domestic civil aviation. “Aeroflot ceased to be an all-Union structure and fell into pieces.
New structures began to form on the basis of territorial departments: concerns, corporations, associations, airlines. In addition to existing airlines, independent airlines began to form on a commercial basis.
In accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, in October 1991, by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation was abolished, and the Air Transport Department was formed within the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. A number of new civil aviation entities were created, including the International Aviation Committee (IAC), which became a permanent body for the coordination of aviation and the use of airspace on an equal basis among twelve countries - independent states of the former USSR.
On March 19, 1997, the Air Code of the Russian Federation was adopted, establishing the legal basis for the use of Russian airspace and activities in the field of aviation. In accordance with the code, federal rules for the use of airspace and federal aviation regulations have been developed.
The stable operation of air transport is of great importance for the economy and social sphere of the country, and the state is taking all measures to support and sustainable development of domestic airlines and enterprises.
In 2007, the Government of the Russian Federation approved and by order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia approved the Federal Target Program "Development of the Transport System of Russia (2010-2015)", which includes the subsection "Civil Aviation". The total funding for the subprogram is 1250.5 billion rubles.
