What does ICAO stand for?

• A. International Civil Aviation Organization
• B. International Corporate Aviation Organization
• C. International Civil Aviational Organization
• D. International Civil Airline Organization

Answer: (A)

ICAO stands for International Civil Aviation Organization. This United Nations specialized agency focuses on international civil aviation, developing and harmonizing standards and recommended practices to keep air travel safe, secure, efficient, and environmentally responsible, and working with member states to implement them worldwide. The other options don’t fit because they do not represent the official name or function of the organization: corporate aviation organization refers to business aviation, the term “Aviational” isn’t a correct word, and airline organization would imply something related to airlines rather than the global standards body.
