Evolving from the Airport Innovation Accelerator, the Airport Consortium on Transformation (ACT) program was launched to tackle industry challenges, particularly those heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There is SO much that AAAE provides/makes available to our industry. I always say, ‘AAAE provides me with the opportunity to show my competencies through tangible means’. Without the certification programs and achievements available through AAAE, those that really want to stand out – wouldn’t be able to. Thank you so much for all that the AAAE staff does for our industry."
"Personally, I attribute a lot of my growth in this industry to my early and often engagement with the association. The events, the networking opportunities, and the programs all have been able to put us in a place of direct access to airport leaders and partners and allowed us to share our thought leadership and expertise."
"The professional development grant from AAAE was quite beneficial to me...The workshop '123, A.A.E.' has helped to renew my interest in pursuing my accreditation. I can't thank AAAE enough for the opportunity to attend the Annual Conference and will look forward to attending future conferences through my organization."
