What? Who? Why?

Our Aims

The International Civil Aviation English Association (ICAEA) is a non-profit, non-partisan association that exists to:

• facilitate exchanges between people and organisations involved in the use of English in aviation,
• raise awareness of language proficiency and its effect on aviation safety, service quality and industry efficiency,
• develop expertise about the use, training and testing of English in all aviation professions,
• promote the sharing of expertise and cooperation between professions, industry and training organisations.

Bringing together aviation professions

ICAEA works to improve standards and understanding of the role of English as used by all aviation professions: by pilots and air traffic controllers in air-to-ground communications, by multi-national crews on the flight deck and in the cabin, by maintenance personnel, ground staff and aviation training organisations.
