AOPA exists to represent all of General Aviation in the UK, not just one sector, and not just one interest ✈️

We lobby and engage at Government, regulatory and local levels, with complete independence. Unlike other associations, we are not a regulator, co-regulator, or licence-issuing body, which means we’re free to speak up for GA without conflict of interest.

Through IAOPA, we’re connected to AOPAs across Europe and worldwide, giving UK GA a strong voice on the international stage.

Our work is funded by our members, often benefiting the whole GA community, and with more members comes greater influence, stronger representation, and more impact.

AOPA works every day to support the people, businesses and organisations that keep General Aviation moving. ✈️

From defending airspace access and influencing regulation to promoting safety, training and sustainability, we’re committed to protecting the future of GA across the UK and beyond.

Together, we can keep aviation strong for the next generation of pilots.
