Aeronautical association celebrates World AIS Day, seeks compliance with Annex 15

Aeronautical Information Services Association Of Nigeria (AISAN) will today May 15, celebrate World AIS Day at all its stations in Nigeria.

The AIS Day started as a result of Standards and Recommended Practices for Aeronautical Information Services which were first adopted by the Council on May 15, 1953, pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago 1944), and were designated as Annex 15 to the Convention.

Following consideration by all contracting states, these recommendations were reviewed by the Air Navigation Commission and the first set of Standards and Recommended Practices was adopted by the council on May 15, 1953 as Annex 15 to the Convention.

Consequently, this is how AISAN came about celebrating this memorable global day on 15th May every year as “World AIS/AIM Day”.
Speaking on the AIS Day, AISAN president, Shittu Babatunde said the celebration for this year couldn’t have come at a better time in the format in which it is to be celebrated, that is at station level.
