On May 15th, we commemorate the adoption of the Standards and Recommended Practices for Aeronautical Information Services by the ICAO Council in 1953. This marked a significant milestone in the aviation industry, establishing a framework for the proper handling of aeronautical information.

Aviation truly starts with AIS. These dedicated professionals work behind the scenes, tirelessly collecting, managing, and disseminating a wealth of crucial information to pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation stakeholders. Their role is vital in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and reliability of air navigation.

This information is the backbone of safe and successful flights. It includes essential details on airports, runways, airways, and more, empowering pilots to make informed decisions, plan routes, and navigate various airspaces with confidence.

Let’s take this opportunity to appreciate and honor the dedication and hard work of the men and women in the Aeronautical Information Services everywhere. Their commitment to excellence plays a vital role in keeping us safe in the skies.

✈️ Aviation truly starts with the Aeronautical Information Services! ✈️
