General Aviation Awareness Council

About the GAAC

The GAAC website is currently undergoing maintenance and will be back online properly within a few days (Updated 14 March 2024). Meanwhile to contact us please e-mail communications@gaac.org.uk and your e-mail will be forwarded to the relevant person.

In the meantime you can still make a DONATION as we continue working to over 100 airfields around the UK on various issues. Details of how to donate and alternatively how to help us reach the Save Our Airfields campaign target of £10,000, please Donate Here.

The General Aviation Awareness Council (a company without shareholders, limited by guarantee) has been established by the UK’s General Aviation associations, supported by commercial and professional bodies, in order to ensure that GA activity in the UK stops declining and starts to recover. Elsewhere, particularly in mainland Europe, General Aviation – whether business flying, pilot training, sport, recreation or other forms – has been publicly and privately encouraged, whereas in the UK it received very little support or recognition.

The critical factor for the future growth of UK General Aviation are the need for more aerodromes, strategically sited to serve areas of economic development and enough free airspace in which to operate safely and efficiently.

The objectives of the Council are:

  • to EXPLAIN the nature of the GA Industry
  • to PROMOTE its purpose and value
  • to PROTECT its facilities (e.g. aerodromes)
  • to ENSURE its future

How you can help
This site states the case for General Aviation. You can assist by giving your active support to GA activity and plans both nationally and in your own community.
This will:

  • Ensure new business and sustained economic growth
  • Make sure that no locality – including yours – lacks a suitable aerodrome from which GA can fulfil its national and local responsibilities.
