Who We Are
The Association of Airport Internal Auditors, Inc. (AAIA) was created in the Spring of 1989 to specifically address the unique needs of airport auditors around the world. We all face auditing the same common airport operations: parking systems, airlines, rental cars, and other concessions. What we have done is pool our resources and experiences to make us all more effective and efficient.
In over 30 years, our membership has grown to represent more than 60 airport members from across the globe, including places such as Kenya, Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States. With over 250 registrants, the AAIA has more than 100 Certified Public Accountants and 80 Certified Internal Auditors.
We have also hosted 30 consecutive conferences, where our members network with other airport internal auditors, learn from industry experts, and earn valuable NASBA approved CPE credits at a low cost.
Due to COVID-19, the
31st AAIA Annual Conference was rescheduled from June 2020 to September 2021. It was the first Hybrid Conference - offering both in-person and virtual learning platforms - to accommodate our members' needs. The
32nd AAIA Annual Conference was held in Orlando, Florida, and the
33rd AAIA Annual Conference was held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The
34th AAIA Annual Conference will be hosted by the
San Antonio International Airport in San Antonio, Texas. It will be held from June 9-12, 2024. The conference hotel is the
Hilton Palacio Del Rio. .It is on an all in-person conference.
In addition to the annual conference, the AAIA is the conduit to the
Forum - an online message board, where members-only can ask questions of other airport auditors, respond to surveys, and exchange posts. In addition, there is an
AAIA Virtual Forum call where members are sent an invitation to join the conversation and earn free NASBA approved CPE credits. Members can ask questions, share reports, and provide advice in a lively discussion format.
Free members-only webinars are also provided, with NASBA approved CPE credits. See topics from previous webinars under the Conferences and Events drop down menu or with this link:
