Europe Air Sports is an association of the European National Aero Clubs, and European Air Sports Unions, with the objective to co-ordinate regulatory matters in Europe. It is affiliated to the FAI -the World's Airsports Federation-.
Developments in European aviation regulation require constant attention and actions for a response or initiative. If unnoticed, unfavourable or even dangerous rules may evolve, hurting Sports and Recreational Aviation. If properly managed, it may lead to equal opportunities for our community in Europe.
Our current Membership counts the National Aero Clubs of 25 States and the European Gliding and the European Hang & Paragliding Unions, the Microlight Federation as well as PPL/IR Europe. This implies that Europe Air Sports represents the interests of some 700.000 sports and recreational airspace users !
