Every year on April 26th, World Pilots' Day is celebrated, recognizing the invaluable contributions of pilots who ensure the safe transportation of millions of passengers worldwide. This day also marks the International Civil Aviation Day's acknowledgment of pilots' vital role in sustaining aviation and their enduring partnership with IFALPA.On this date in 1912, Fesa Evrensev, a young Turkish pilot, took his inaugural flight, marking a historic moment in aviation. Fesa Evrensev, recognized as the first Turkish military pilot, participated in numerous flight missions during the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913. In 1933, he became the inaugural president of Turkish Airlines. Due to his significant impact on Turkish aviation history, the Turkish Airlines Pilots' Association established April 26th as Pilots' Day. Subsequently, in 2013, IFALPA decided to officially commemorate pilots worldwide, selecting April 26th in honor of Mehmet Fesa Evrensev's groundbreaking flight in 1912. This decision led to the inaugural celebration of World Pilots' Day on April 26, 2014, highlighting Evrensev's pivotal role in shaping Turkish aviation since the early 1910s.
