What does ICAO stand for?

• A. International Conference on Aviation Operations
• B. Institute of Civil Aviation Organization
• C. International Committee for Air Navigation
• D. International Civil Aviation Organization

Answer: (D)

ICAO stands for International Civil Aviation Organization. It’s a United Nations specialized agency created by the Chicago Convention of 1944 to regulate and promote international civil aviation. The organization sets international standards and recommended practices for safety, security, efficiency, and environmental protection in air travel, which is why its official name reflects both the international scope and the civil aviation focus. The other options describe different-sounding names or roles and do not represent the actual organization.
