AIMS OF THE WORLD AIR GAMES

The FAI has five primary goals for the World Air Games :

• To determine “World Air Games Champions” in each World Air Games discipline.
• To create a sense of cohesion between different air sport disciplines and create camaraderie among the world’s top air sport athletes.
• To showcase air sports to the general public and promote public participation in air sport by attracting new participants to air sport disciplines.
• To generate revenue for the World Air Games Organisers and the FAI.
• To promote FAI events to other sports organisations and create an attractive platform for TV, media and other external stakeholders.

Based on these goals, the World Air Games have been designed to be the marquee event for the FAI and everyone involved in air sport. This means that the very best athletes compete against one another for the highest award in air sport : The title of “World Air Games Champion”.
