台灣位居亞太地區交通樞紐，對外交通主要依賴海、空運輸與世界各國接軌，在廿一世紀全球政治、經濟、科技與文化活動均步入快速化、國際化，航空事業之重要性更是扮演舉足輕重之角色。

Located at the hub of the Asia-Pacific region, Taiwan relies on sea and air transport to stay connected with the rest of the world. As politics, economics, technology and culture all accelerate and internationalize into the 21st century, civil aviation plays an increasingly important role.

教育為一切事業發展根基，航空事業亦不例外，觀之目前我國政府體制內，負責民航人員訓練之機構，僅有民航局民航人員訓練所，民間除部分大專學校設有航空相關科系外，並無其他以培育民航專業人員之教育訓練性團體。有鑑於此，本基金會為提昇航空教育品質與水準，協助政府發展民航事業，提供相關航空專業諮詢服務，並增加多元之教育訓練機會與管道，期能為我國及全球航空事業發展貢獻一分心力，盡一分責任。

Training and education are the root of growth and development in any field, and civil aviation is no exception. However, under the government’s current structure, the CAA’s AVIATION TRAINING INSTITUTE is the only facility that conducts training for aviation personnel. As for in-country universities, only a few offer aviation related courses. Under these circumstances, Aviation Education Foundation (AEF) was established with a view to improving the quality of education, aiding the development of the airline industry, providing consultation services, and offering a broad range of training opportunities and channels. To this end, AEF is willing to invest itself in the aviation industry both at home and abroad.
