For the 1930s U.S. aircraft manufacturer named General Aviation, see Atlantic Aircraft.
General aviation (GA) is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as all civil aviation aircraft operations except for commercial air transport or aerial work, which is defined as specialized aviation services for other purposes.[1] However, for statistical purposes, ICAO uses a definition of general aviation which includes aerial work.[2]
General aviation thus represents the "private transport" and recreational components of aviation.[3]
