Welcome to AzAirports.org

The Arizona Airports Association (AzAA) was formed in 1979 to bring together the representatives of public and private airports and others interested in the general benefit of aviation to provide information, expertise and support to all those in the State's aviation industry.  Further, the Association works to foster public recognition of airports and the airport executive profession, and to assist in the future development of air transportation in Arizona.

Help support our Corporate Members. Utilize the AzAA Corporate Yellow Pages as a tool to help assist in finding your next vendor.

Thanks for making the 2009 AzAA "Walter Burg" Fall Conference a huge success!

The Fall Conference & associated events were held at the Mesa Convention Center and the Phoenix Mesa Marriott on October 20 - 21, 2009. The conference was very well attended with 165 registrants and 11 exhibitors. During the conference, we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of AzAA with a special presentation that you can download and enjoy at your leisure. The conference agenda is available for reference and included updates from both the FAA & ADOT; a special session with ADOT on their recent realignment and other issues facing Arizona airports; a presentation on the SASP; a session with our lobbyists; and the latest and greatest on the PHX Sky Train. The conference also featured a second day with ADOT for "Grants 202," and those presentations will be available on the ADOT website. Next up - our Spring Conference is being held on April 26-28, 2010,at the Windermere Hotel & Conference Center in Sierra Vista. More information to come soon! If you have any questions or comments about the Fall Conference, or would like to be involved in the conference committee for the Spring, please contact Jennifer Maples, the AzAA Conference Committee Chair at 602-273-4014 or via email at jennifer.maples@phoenix.gov.
