Airport Regions Council

Mission & Goals

The Airport Regions Council (ARC) is an association of regional and local authorities across Europe with an international airport situated within or near their territory. The ARC brings together a wide range of expertise at the interface of air transport and local and regional policies. A common concern is to balance the economic benefits generated by the airports against their environmental impact, notably the effect on the quality of life of local residents. ARC works with the European Commissioner for Transport and Cabinet and the EC Directorates for Transport, for the Environment, and for the Regions.
