AIRPORT OPERATORS ASSOCIATION

AOA is a membership organisation comprising a total of 68 airport companies from across the country. An additional 160 plus companies are Associate Members, representing a broad range of suppliers to the aviation industry. Working on behalf of our members, AOA’s mission is to engage with Government, regulators and opinion formers at both national and international level to secure public policy which delivers on our vision.

AOA plays a leading role in promoting aviation security, economic development, operational safety and environmental sustainability and in so doing contributes to the continued successful development of UK airports and aviation.

Ultimately, the AOA passinately believes that aviation is a social and an economic good. It is an essential part of the UK's sustainable integrated transport network, providing both national and international connectivity for holidaymakers, people wishing to visit friends and relatives across the UK and around the world, and travellers on business. And, crucially, it is a prime driver and facilitator of growth, helping the UK create private sector jobs and businesses in what are tough economic times.
