AAA National Airport Industry Awards

While the AAA National Conference will unfortunately no longer go ahead in November as planned, we can confirm the Awards, along with your hard work and great projects, will still be acknowledged and celebrated.

Given the continued COVID case numbers, lockdowns and border closures resulting from the Delta Strain of the virus, the AAA made the regrettable decision not to hold National Conference 2021 – Ready to Reconnect in Sydney in November and this includes the awards ceremony and gala dinner.

These Awards will be presented in a virtual presentation from 4pm to 6pm AEST on Wednesday 17 November 2021. 

The Australian Airports Association (AAA) National Airport Industry Awards celebrate and honour contributions and achievements made by AAA Members over the past financial year.

The awards seek to acknowledge the organisations and individuals who have achieved excellence within Australia’s airport industry.

Participating in the Awards helps you to highlight your most outstanding qualities, largest successes and creative initiatives during the year.
