A clearer way into aviation

How the aviation world fits together

A flight is delivered by a network of organizations rather than one team. Each organization has its own responsibilities, while information and decisions cross organizational boundaries.

Aircraft operators

Operators coordinate aircraft, crews, operational planning and passenger or cargo services. Their work connects to maintenance, airports and air navigation services.

Airports and ground services

Airport organizations manage infrastructure and operations, while handling and other service teams support the aircraft and its customers. Border agencies and public services may also be part of the airport environment.

Air navigation and information

Air traffic services, technical systems, weather and aeronautical information support aviation decisions. Explore these connections.

Oversight and learning

Regulators, investigation authorities and organizational safety teams have different roles. Understanding the distinction helps you read reports and requirements without confusing their purpose.
