About The NJAA

The New Jersey Aviation Association is dedicated to the promotion and protection of the state’s aviation industry.

MISSION STATEMENT

  • Promote aviation as a key component of the state’s intermodal transportation system.
  • Increase awareness of the positive economic contributions of the state’s aviation industry.
  • Influence public policy to protect and promote aviation.
  • Work to balance the interests of local communities and the aviation industry.

Our state airport system and corporate and general aviation industries contribute close to $2 billion annually to the economy of New Jersey.

Thousands of jobs are tied directly to our airports, aviation product manufacturers and a multitude of service companies located throughout the state. Companies that locate and want to grow in New Jersey rely on our aviation infrastructure to move employees and products efficiently and safely to facilities and markets throughout the world. Airports are the vital link that connects New Jersey businesses and workers to opportunities around the globe.

While the industry has seen excellent growth in recent years, many companies associated with the aviation industry are concerned about their ability to continue to grow and prosper. Our airports face many challenges. They must update equipment and facilities to increase the margin of safety for both passengers and the communities served. Development continues to threaten the viability of our airports. The industry has not made a concerted effort to build community support for aviation and educate citizens about the contribution aviation makes to the state. These challenges, left unchecked, could severely impact airport operations and diminish the role that aviation plays in our state’s intermodal transportation system.

The New Jersey Aviation Association (NJAA) has been formed to provide a voice for the aviation community in New Jersey. Our organization is uniquely qualified to represent the industry and galvanize the interests of our airports, Fortune 500 companies, and aviation suppliers and vendors. NJAA is working to ensure that the voice of the aviation community is heard when public policy makers consider rules and regulations impacting the industry.

The citizens of New Jersey want a safe and reliable aviation infrastructure. NJAA accepts that citizens sometimes have concerns about the impact of airports in their communities. We do not dismiss these concerns. Our goal is to educate the public and policy makers about the crucial importance of our state’s airport infrastructure. We will work to reach consensus whenever possible, but we will always be the voice for the growth and prosperity of the aviation industry and the state’s businesses, which rely on a robust aviation infrastructure.
