The Aviation Environment Federation (AEF) is the principal UK non-profit making organisation concerned with the environmental effects of aviation. These range from aviation noise issues associated with small airstrips or helipads to the contribution of airline emissions to global warming and climate change. The AEF is widely quoted in international media as a source of research and analysis on issues related to aviation and the environment.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-apr-26-la-oe-goldin-20100426-story.html |access-date=25 August 2010 |title=Maybe Iceland's volcano did us a favor |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=26 April 2010 |location=Los Angeles | first=Greg | last=Goldin}}{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/20/business/worldbusiness/20iht-emit.3966468.html |accessdate=25 August 2010 |title=EU moves ahead on plan to cut airline emissions |newspaper=The New York Times |date=20 December 2006 | first=James | last=Kanter}}{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/science/article736634.ece |accessdate=25 August 2010 |title=Aviation industry in eye of climate-change storm |newspaper=The Gllobe and Mail |location=Toronto |date=14 May 2007}}{{cite news |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/4248454/Heathrow-expansion-green-fuels-not-enough-to-reduce-emissions.html |accessdate=25 August 2010 |date=15 January 2009 |title= Heathrow expansion: green fuels 'not enough' to reduce emissions |newspaper=The Telegraph |location=London |author=Oliver Smith }}{{cite news |url= http://www.utro.ru/articles/2010/04/19/888971.shtml |accessdate=25 August 2010|title=ЖИЗНЬ: Вулкан-гигант начал затихать |date=19 April 2010 |newspaper=Утро.Ru |author=Svetlana Prokofiev |location=Moscow}}

The AEF was established in 1975 and its members include, to an extent, community and environmental groups, local authorities, parish assemblies, and individuals.

AEF is a member of AirportWatch, a UK-wide network of conservation and residents' groups, Transport and Environment, which campaigns for smarter, greener transport in Europe, and the International Coalition for Sustainable Aviation.
