Aviation regulation encompasses the rules and standards governing the operation of aircraft, airlines, and related activities to ensure safety, security, and efficiency. These regulations include safety standards, environmental guidelines, and compliance requirements set by aviation authorities like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). They aim to enhance passenger safety, reduce environmental impact, and ensure operational efficiency, impacting airlines, manufacturers, and other stakeholders in the aviation industry.
