What does ACAG mean in COMMUNITY

The Aviation Community Advisory Group (ACAG) is an organization that brings together aviation stakeholders and members of the public to share ideas and discuss current issues and advancements in aviation. The ultimate goal of ACAG is to ensure that the interests of all involved parties, including airports, airlines, air traffic controllers, passengers, residents, businesses and municipalities are considered when making decisions about changes to aviation infrastructure.

Joining an ACAG depends on which community your region or city may have formed a group with. Each ACAG will have their own guidelines for joining, so it's best to reach out to your local ACAG or government agency for specific information. You can also check out our national website at www.acagusta.org for more information.

The Aviation Community Advisory Group has been a driving force behind many policy initiatives within the aviation industry. They provide essential input during policy development processes by contributing valuable feedback from all stakeholders across multiple sites and communities, as well as weighing in on potential impacts and benefits associated with proposed policies. Additionally, they can be integral contacts for government agencies during implementation of policies through their local networks and community collaborations.

Typically members from different aviation-related sectors such as airports, airlines, pilots, air traffic controllers/operators as well as representatives from passenger/resident groups participate in an ACAG Meeting. Tourists or municipal officials may sometimes attend meetings if there is pertinent information relevant to their jurisdictions or travel arrangements.

The frequency of meetings varies depending on the urgency or complexity of the matter being discussed; although most meetings are held quarterly at minimum. In cases where important matters need immediate resolution or attention; additional interim meetings can be scheduled.

Meetings typically last two hours however it may vary according to what topics are scheduled for discussion that day.

Yes! Minutes from past meetings are compiled into documents and posted publicly on our official website for everyone's reference (www.acagusta.org). Minutes also contain contact information so you can follow up regarding further questions.

Attendees should always come prepared with facts and reasonable arguments so their views are heard effectively throughout the discussion process; however attendance does not guarantee results.
