AEF’s 50th Anniversary: 1975 – 2025

16th September, 2025

2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Aviation Environment Federation (AEF).

From the very beginning, we have been an organisation rooted in community, working to reduce the negative impact of aviation on local people. We began as a group formed to support Londoners affected by their local airport and have since grown into a national — and even international — voice for communities impacted by aviation.
