General Aviation Office
The mission of the General Aviation Office and the AAAE General Aviation Airports Committee is to provide information to and promote the interests of the general aviation community, and foster its relationships with airport management members and other partners in the aviation industry. The goal of the committee is to work with AAAE staff in developing services relevant to general aviation and small airports.
This Committee meets in the spring at the General Aviation Issues Conference, once in the summer at the AAAE Annual Conference, and also in the fall at the National Airports Conference. Additional meetings are called via teleconference and members are notified via e-mail. If you have questions or are interested in joining the committee please feel free to contact Alex Gertsen, AAAE Staff Liaison to the Committee or Tim O'Donnell, AAE, GA Airports Committee Chair.
