The Paris Convention Relating to the Regulation of Aerial Navigation was signed on October 13, 1919, establishing the first international convention for the control and development of air transport. The Paris Convention formed the basis for civil aviation law to this time. On October 7, 1919, KLM became the first commercial air carrier. The world’s second oldest airline, the Colombian–German Air Transport Company (SCADTA) – now Avianca – was formed in Colombia on December 5, 1919.
