The System of Cooperation Among the American Air Forces (Spanish: Sistema de Cooperación entre las Fuerzas Aéreas Americanas, SICOFAA) is an apolitical voluntary international organization among the North and South American air forces.

SICOFAA's mission is to promote and strengthen the bonds of Air Forces throughout the Americas as well as to enable mutual support and joint cooperation when directed to do so by their respective governments. Critical focuses include air operations, human resources, education and training, search and rescue, disaster relief, telecommunications, aerospace medicine, weather, prevention of plane crashes, and scientific research.

The organization is based out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
