The Aviation Office was formed in 1976 and was part of the Planning and Development Division at the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.

Between 1980-1981, the agency reported to the Transportation Programs Division but was then transferred to the Provincial/Municipal Division where it resided until 1983. After briefly reporting to the Strategic Policy Secretariat in 1984, the Aviation Office was placed within the Provincial Transportation Division until 1991. The following year the office was moved to the Policy Division.

Since 1993, the Aviation Office has reported to both the Quality and Standards Division and the Policy and Planning Division. In December 1998, however, full administrative responsibility for the Aviation Office was assumed by the Policy and Planning Division.

The Aviation Office ceased to exist in 1999, and its functions were absorbed by the existing Passenger Policy Office.

The Aviation Office developed policy on behalf of the Ontario government pertaining to airports, and liaised with federal and municipal governments to promote improved air transportation facilities. In addition to its policy function, the office provided technical advice and financial assistance to municipalities building airports, and planned and implemented programs for the construction and maintenance of airports in remote parts of Northern Ontario. It did not, however, participate in the actual maintenance and construction of these airports.
