The FAI became an ‘IOC recognised IF’ (International Sports Federation) in 1986. It is listed on the IOC website.

The advantages of the IOC’s support

The FAI’s membership of the IOC organisation has a beneficial impact on air sports.

  • The IOC provides positive support in upholding the shared values of the FAI and the Olympic Movement, for instance in promoting diversity, protecting and building the reputation of air sports and encouraging participation in air sports and solidarity within the athlete community.
  • The IOC offers financial support for educational, medical and scientific programmes; the FAI receives an annual subsidy from the IOC for antidoping programmes and selected special projects.
  • The FAI’s members are able to be affiliated to the IOC’s National Olympic Committees (NOCs) which allows them access to government subsidies and vital support in organising championships at national level.
