Below is a showcase of aircraft operators of the world throughout aviation history with links to their respective lists. All nations having employed some form of aircraft are included in this index. Note that now-defunct air powers, such as those of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Czechoslovakia, the Empire of Japan, the Kingdom of Italy, Nazi Germany (Luftwaffe), and the Soviet Union are also included in this listing (they are labeled as DEFUNCT).
