The Air Sports Association of Iran is a governmental sports organization operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Sport and Youth and the Federation of Sports Associations. Its purpose is to develop, supervise, and promote air sports throughout the country.
The Air Sports Association was initially formed in 1372 SH (1993 CE) under the then-Physical Education Organization, with activities focused on skydiving (freefall). Subsequently, in 1374 SH (1995 CE), paragliding and parachuting committees were formally established within the Mountaineering Federation. In 1376 SH (1997 CE), it was renamed the "Air Sports Association." In 1389 SH (2010 CE), with the establishment of the "Federation of Sports Associations" under the Ministry of Sport and Youth, the Air Sports Association was separated from the Mountaineering Federation and transferred to this new federation. Furthermore, in 1377 SH (1998 CE), the association received a seat from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) and was accepted as an official member with voting rights. To date, this institution has issued licenses to more than 10,000 athletes.
