The establishment process of the Turkish Aeronautical Association University is quite interesting and unique. The efforts, starting in 2010, aimed at establishing a leading university in the fields of aviation and space in Turkey. It was of great importance for the university to translate intellectual accumulation into academic groundwork and provide the trained human resources needed by the sector to achieve this goal.

The establishment stages included activities such as designing the academic and administrative structure, determining physical needs, and conducting a comprehensive feasibility study by examining similar universities in Turkey and worldwide. Based on this report, the application for the establishment of Turkey's first and only aviation and space sciences university was made.

The proposal was accepted by the Turkish Grand National Assembly and enacted into law, officially establishing the Turkish Aeronautical Association University in 2011. The university adopted the duty left to the Turkish nation by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk regarding aviation and started education and training at its central campus in Ankara in the 2011-2012 academic year.

This process is an important step for Turkey to have an advanced educational institution in the field of aviation and space. The Turkish Aeronautical Association University plays a significant role in training qualified human resources needed in the sector and supporting research and development activities.

The mission and vision of the Turkish Aeronautical Association University are forward-looking and focused on impressive goals.

Among its missions is to contribute to increasing Turkey's global competitiveness in the fields of aviation and space sciences and to educate students equipped with contemporary knowledge and skills at every level. At the same time, ensuring that students have research, analytical, and creative abilities is also stated as an important goal. Additionally, internalizing a culture of quality by offering high-quality education, research, and development programs and using this knowledge for the benefit of humanity and the country is also emphasized as an important objective.

In their vision, they aim to become one of the few research universities in the region and the world, with scientifically based and high-quality education and research programs. This vision aims to play an important role in the future and make a difference in the fields of aviation and space.

These missions and visions are designed and determined to support the development and progress of the Turkish Aeronautical Association University as an important education and research center.
