Aeronautics is governed internationally by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), also well known by its English name, World Air Sports Federation. The federation was created on 14 October 1905, in Paris, France, with founding members from eight countries. The FAI is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and, as of January 2026, has over 100 members from 91 nations.
At Berlin 1936, a gold medal for Merit for Aeronautics was presented to the Swiss Hermann Schreiber. A gliding exhibition was also held at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
