On the occasion of the International Day of Remembrance for Air Crash Victims and Their Families, observed annually on February 20, the international aviation community pays tribute to those who lost their lives in air accidents and expresses solidarity with the families and communities affected by these tragedies.

Although aviation remains one of the safest modes of transportation, the consequences of accidents are profound and long‑lasting. In this context, the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) emphasizes the importance of cooperation among states, sharing experience, and strengthening support mechanisms to ensure that victims and their families have access to assistance and information.

This day represents not only a moment of silence but also a continuous commitment to improving systems that provide support, compassion, and dignity to those affected.
