Since 1961, the IAC has been the forum for new faces and new pronouncements affecting commercial aviation in the United States and the worldwide community.

*THE CLUB PURPOSE*
The International Aviation Club brings together aviation interests in support of a common objective: "...to foster and promote interest in the maintenance and development of aircraft, airports, air navigation and air transportation, international agreements, cooperation and treaties, as all of these...apply to international aviation." To carry out this purpose, the Club encourages the establishment of professional contacts through the Club's monthly luncheons featuring distinguished speakers from government and the private sector who are engaged in world aviation. The Club's festive holiday party for members and their guests, held at an embassy in early December, has become a traditional high point of each year for Washington's aviation community.
