"WHEREAS the future development of international civil aviation can greatly help to create and preserve friendship and understanding among the nations and peoples of the world, yet its abuse can become a threat to the general security; and
WHEREAS it is desirable to avoid friction and to promote that co-operation between nations and peoples upon which the peace of the world depends;
THEREFORE, the undersigned governments having agreed on certain principles and arrangements in order that international civil aviation may be developed in a safe and orderly manner and that international air transport services may be established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and economically;
Have accordingly concluded this Convention to that end.”
Chicago Convention - States’ Obligations: Preamble to the Chicago Convention (1944):
11 February 2019 Aerodrome Certification Workshop 4
States shall certify aerodromes used for international operations in accordance with the specifications
contained in ICAO Annex 14 as well as other relevant ICAO specifications through an appropriate regulatory framework.
The regulatory framework shall include the establishment of criteria and procedures for the certification of aerodromes.
Aerodrome Certification – ICAO Annex 14
11 February 2019 Aerodrome Certification Workshop 5
What? Aerodrome certification is a process of ensuring that an aerodrome complies with the applicable safety
rules, regulations and specifications thereby assuring the users, travelling public and airlines that the aerodrome meets the safety requirements.
Why? To minimize the risks to the users and meet the obligations thereof Aviation’s safety record and increasing traffic volumes; competition amongst airports.
How? Compliance with the safety regulations in force and the commitment to safety through an active Safety
Management System

Annex 14, Volume I, Ch. 1, Section 1.4 specifies:
“….When an aerodrome is granted a certificate, it signifies to aircraft operators and other organizations operating on the aerodrome that, at the time of certification, the aerodrome meets the specifications regarding the facility and its operations, and that it has, according to the certifying authority, the capability to maintain these specifications for the period of validity of the certificate. The certification process also establishes the baseline for continued monitoring of compliance with the specifications….”
