In most cases aviation involves international traffic. International cooperation is therefore important. Practically all activities in the field of aviation are today governed by international or worldwide regulations. In addition to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the EU also plays an increasing role in Europe in setting the framework in the field of aviation.

Switzerland has been actively involved in the various international bodies for many years, especially on issues and in areas in which it has particular interests to represent and where it can achieve the greatest effect.English is not one of Switzerland's official languages. Please consult the German or French pages.
