The Egyptian Aviation Federation, which also uses the historic Aeroclub of Egypt identity, is Egypt's active national member of the World Air Sports Federation (FAI). It represents the country's air-sport community across ballooning, general aviation, gliding, aeromodelling, parachuting, aerobatics, hang gliding and paragliding, rotorcraft, microlight and paramotor flying, amateur-built and experimental aircraft, astronautic records, aviation education, environmental work, and aerospace medicine. Through its officers and commission delegates, it connects Egyptian participants to international competitions, records, licences, technical rules, safety practices, and education.
