The Office of International Aviation is responsible for coordinating all of FAA's international efforts and advancing the nation's longstanding leadership on the international front. Our aim is to increase the safety and capacity of the global aerospace system in an environmentally sound manner.

We also:

  • Engage in dialogue with our counterparts across the world and work closely with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
  • Arrange for technical assistance and training.
  • Work to harmonize global standards so that passengers can benefit from a seamless air transportation network.
  • Share expertise and new technologies with our international partners.
