This paper provides a comprehensive review of the development history, current status, and future trends of civil aviation meteorological services. With the rapid growth of global air traffic and the increasing complexity of operational environments, accurate and timely meteorological information has become indispensable for ensuring the efficiency and safety of civil aviation operations. Extreme weather events, in particular, have repeatedly demonstrated their potential to disrupt flight schedules, compromise passenger safety, and incur substantial economic losses, underscoring the critical need for robust meteorological service systems in the aviation sector. Against this backdrop, this paper first introduces the importance of civil aviation meteorological services in ensuring flight safety, improving flight regularity, and reducing operational costs. The development process is then detailed, from early infrastructure construction to the current modern and intelligent development, covering the evolution of observation equipment, forecasting technologies, and service models. When analyzing the current status, the paper discusses challenges such as the difficulty of accurate forecasting under complex weather conditions and multi-departmental collaboration issues, as well as improvement measures and achievements. Finally, it determines future trends, including the application of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, the expansion of service scope, and the strengthening of international cooperation, aiming to provide references for further improving the level of civil aviation meteorological services.
