The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the national authority responsible for regulating and overseeing all aspects of civil aviation in the United States. As part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the FAA promotes the safe and efficient use of the national airspace. In New York and across the country, it carries out enforcement of aviation safety regulations, certification of pilots and aircraft, and oversight of air traffic control operations. The FAA also manages programs for runway safety, airspace modernization, and environmental stewardship related to aviation.

With a focus on public safety and technological advancement, the FAA is deeply involved in the implementation of emerging technologies like drones and commercial space travel. The agency works closely with other government bodies, airport authorities, and aviation stakeholders to ensure regulatory compliance and continuous improvement in aviation safety. It also conducts public outreach and education to promote air travel safety and awareness. As a trusted federal entity, the FAA plays a critical role in maintaining one of the world’s busiest and most complex aviation systems.
