FAA Mission, and Vision

FAA shapes its future based on its mission as defined by legislative mandate, the desires of the Administration and Congress, the expectations of its customers, its own sense of what it should be doing, its vision of the future, and the values that its employees and managers hold dear. The main change in these statements from the last Strategic Plan is the inclusion of commercial space transportation as an FAA concern. The following are clear, current statements of the mission, and vision the FAA will apply in shaping the future of aerospace.

FAA Mission

FAA provides a safe, secure, and efficient global aerospace system that contributes to national security and promotion of U. S. aerospace. As the leading authority in the international aerospace community, FAA is responsive to the dynamic nature of customer needs, economic conditions, and environmental concerns.

FAA Vision

To provide the safest, most efficient and responsive aerospace system in the world and to be the best Federal employer, continuously improving service to customers and employees.
