A key founder and former vice president of the association was Robert Aladenyse who dedicated his career to the ENAC alumni.

At the beginning of the 1970s, the university started the recruitment of students for the aerospace industry, outside of its original pool of future DGAC employees.

Robert Aladenyse (1931-2003, 1964 graduate) decided in 1987 to create a nonprofit organization for the aviation engineers (Diplôme d'ingénieur) alumni.

In the 2000s, the development of the Master's degree and Mastères Spécialisés programs led IngENAC to expand its membership to these new alumnus.

[9] In February 2019, ENAC Alumni held the first edition of The State of the Air (Les Etats de l'Air) which is a conference featuring a series of round tables and master classes with a panel of aviation leaders.

ENAC Alumni is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles[11][12] that represents the colleges of engineering in France.

Its programs include developing the membership, mentoring students and young professionals, promoting diversity and inclusion, and strengthening the relationship with U.S. universities.

[17] The chapter has also an emergency information and mutual aid coordination initiative that was launched in response to Hurricane Dorian and was activated again during the COVID-19 crisis.

This project involves a global industry panel of about 20 thought aviation leaders worldwide as well as regional task forces.

[25] ENAC Alumni is administered by volunteers, working in close collaboration with the university administration and third party organizations.

Yann Gozlan's film, Black Box, released in 2021, includes a scene of a cocktail party organized by ENAC Alumni.
