The Airport Operators Association (AOA) is the trade association that represents the interests of British airports and is the principal body with which the UK Government and regulatory authorities consult on airport matters.

Our mission is to influence governments and regulators, at national, European and international levels, in order to secure policy outcomes that contribute to conditions for sustainable growth in the airport sector.

Our 72 airport members represent the UK's international hub, major regional airports as well as many serving community, business and leisure aviation. AOA actively brings these members together to share expertise and develop common approaches across the full spectrum of airport issues.

Working closely with our members, partners and other stakeholders we play a lead role in promoting aviation security, economic development, and environmental sustainability and ultimately the continued successful development of British airports and aviation.
