OUR MISSION

ATAG's mission is to define common positions on issues and to make expert and constructive contributions to the industry and governmental consultation process.

To this end, ATAG:

- advocates for coordinated action on strategic issues (such as environment and infrastructure) that require cross-industry involvement – and contributes to public policy debates;

- mobilises the industry towards joint statements and promotion of a joint vision;

- carries out appropriate studies to develop consistent data and information;

- proactively communicates aviation's positive role and impact with respect to economic and social development; and

- operates with flexibility and an open-mind, thus creating the conditions for a transparent dialogue. In so doing, ATAG plays an influential role in ensuring that aviation can continue to grow according to market demands and deliver the enormous economic and social benefits it brings to the world.
