Corporate Committee

The mission of the AAAE Corporate Committee is to foster communication, participation and value with corporate members and AAAE. All AAAE Corporate Member staff are invited to participate in the Corporate Committee, however, only one (1) representative of each company is designated as the "voting member." Please contact AAAE staff with questions regarding your company's "voting member."

The AAAE Corporate Committee meets three times per year to discuss industry issues and foster value with corporate members and AAAE. We invite airport directors and other industry experts as guest speakers to cover a variety of topics from the RFP process to sustainability, non-aeronautical revenue and more.

Participation is complimentary with your corporate membership. If you are not able to attend in-person, we provide a teleconference line for calling in or a Zoom link for virtual meetings. You can have up to three staff join, with one person designated as the voting member.

2025 and 2026 meetings are scheduled as follows:

Sunday, September 28, 2025: F. Russell Hoyt National Airports Conference (NAC); Salt Lake City, UT
