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.

Membership is open to Airport Managers, Sponsors, and other aviation-related organizations including public and private corporations who are engaged in activities relating to the use and promotion of airports or aviation. Student membership is offered to full-time students who are engaged in the study of airport development, administration, management, and operation or in any related field of aviation, and who has been sponsored for membership by a current member in any classification.

AzAA offers assistance and support to its members through educational seminars, public outreach events and regular meetings. Members also enjoy a forum in which to share information. Throughout its history, AzAA has been successful in educating and representing the aviation needs of its members.
