Standing Committees

The Alaska Air Carriers Association (AACA), in accordance with our bylaws, maintains four standing committees. These committees play a crucial role in shaping the association’s policies, initiatives, and advocacy efforts. Each committee is composed of a diverse group of individuals, including association members, industry experts, and community stakeholders. Their collaborative efforts contribute to the growth and sustainability of Alaska’s commercial aviation industry.

If you’re passionate about commercial aviation in Alaska and want to contribute, consider joining one of these committees. Your voice matters, and together, we can shape the future of Alaska’s air transportation.
