The Aerial Board of Control is a fictional supranational organization created to manage air traffic for the whole world. It was described in the early science fiction stories "With The Night Mail" (The Windsor Magazine, December 1905; McClure's Magazine, November 1905) and "As Easy as ABC" (The London Magazine 1912) by Rudyard Kipling. The organisation was able to limit the influence of national states and create a de facto world government.
