On 21 April 2009, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority granted the Australian Air League official permission to fly the Australian Civil Aviation Ensign, to recognise the organisation’s significant contribution to aviation in Australia.

This permission was recently re-affirmed by Mr Mark Skidmore AM, Director of Aviation Safety who has granted further approval through to 2019, and the Civil Air Ensign will continue to be proudly flown at reviews and parades by the Australian Air League as it promotes aviation in Australia.
