Australian Airports Association

Australian Airports Association The AAA is the national industry voice for airports in Australia.
(1)

The Australian Airports Association (AAA) is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 1982 in recognition of the need for one coherent, cohesive, consistent and vital voice for all aerodromes and airports across Australia. The AAA now represents the interests of more than 260 airports and aerodromes Australia wide – from the local country community landing strip to major international gateway

airports. There are a further 100 corporate members representing aviation stakeholders and organisations that provide goods and services to the airport sector. The AAA facilitates co-operation among all member airports and their many and varied partners in Australian aviation, whilst contributing to an air transport system that is safe, secure, environmentally responsible and efficient for the benefit of all Australians and visitors. The AAA is the leading advocate for appropriate national policy relating to airport activities and operates to ensure regular transport passengers, freight, and the community enjoy the full benefits of a progressive and sustainable airport industry.

Airport Safety Week 2025 has officially wrapped up, and it’s a great moment to reflect on the insights and engagement this important initiative sparked across our industry.

This year’s theme, One Airport, One Safety Culture, was a powerful reminder that safety goes beyond procedures - it’s a mindset, a shared commitment and a culture that connects every team, in every part of airport operations.

From thought-provoking webinars to creative on-the-ground activities, it was fantastic to see so many airports and partners engaging with the resources, discussions and each other.

Thank you to everyone who took part - your contributions continue to build a stronger and safer future for aviation.
