In order to keep member dues low, AAAE offers additional a la carte membership and services that airports and their corporate partners may choose to participate in. Among the most important of these additional memberships is the AAAE & ALA Federal Affairs Memberships for airports and corporates. These two valuable memberships support the efforts of the Airport Legislative Alliance (ALA) and AAAE Transportation Security Policy and Regulatory Affairs departments in Washington on behalf of your airports and the industry. Participation in these memberships is on an organizational basis - once an airport or corporate is a member, all staff at the organization is eligible to receive the membership benefits.

Below we have outlined the highlights of the two memberships. If you have questions regarding membership please contact Gwen Papineau.

AAAE & ALA Federal Affairs Airport Membership

AAAE has listened to many of our members who have asked us to "bundle" our legislative and regulatory memberships into a single payment. The AAAE & Airport Legislative Alliance (ALA) Federal Affairs Membership includes support for both the ALA membership and the AAAE Transportation Security Policy and Regulatory Affairs membership. While AAAE has dedicated millions of dollars more to representing airports in Washington on legislative and regulatory matters than we raise through the annual memberships, we are not seeking an increase for either of these previously separate memberships.

Invoice amounts for the AAAE & ALA Federal Affairs Membership are based on hub size and participation helps defray the cost of services for information collection and dissemination, staffing and other association resources dedicated to airport legislative and regulatory issues as well as subscription/access to the following AAAE policy department electronic communications, including:

  • Airport Alerts
  • Hearing Reports
  • Washington Insider Update Videos
  • Security Policy Alerts
  • Security Policy Notices
  • Security Snapshots/Videos
  • Regulatory Alerts
  • Regulatory Roundup
  • Regulatory Recap Videos

In addition, airports members are invited to participate in the exclusive ALA Airport Policy Roundtable meetings.

AAAE Federal Affairs Corporate Membership

Put the experienced leadership of the AAAE staff to work for you before Congress and these agencies. Your participation in the AAAE Federal Affairs Corporate Membership guarantees that you will have the most up-to-date news from Washington and around the industry - news you can use to directly affect your service to the aviation industry and ultimately your bottom line.
