The United Arab Emirates Air Force (UAEAF) is the air force of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), part of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. Its predecessor was established in 1968, when the Emirates were still under British rule.

Currently, the UAEAF has around 4,000 personnel and operates approximately 552 fixed wing and rotorcraft.
