This publication provides details of senior serving officers of the Royal Air Force. This edition is corrected to include officers serving in the Ministry of Defence and Command Headquarters as of January 2016, and includes later appointments where known.

Following a change in disclosure policy of the Ministry of Defence, details of personnel below 1* rank (Air Commodore) will no longer be made available under the First Data Protection Principle in the Data Protection Act 1998. As a result the Air Force List now only contains details of officers of 1* rank or above, or those holding significant command or managerial positions.
