About IAAE Canada IAAE Canada's primary goal is to assist airport executives in fulfilling their responsibilities to the airports and communities they serve, by personal development and training. Different levels of membership at IAAE Canada are obtainable to coincide with your goal to enhance your professional development in the airport industry. In 1994 IAAE Canada was formed in the interest of serving Canadian Airport Managers and personnel. It grew so well that in 2000 we incorporated as the International Association of Airport Executives Canada (IAAE Canada) and still continue to grow to this day. Membership in IAAE Canada is for individuals not airports and it places equal emphasis on the employees and operators of large and small airport concerns, reflecting a membership comprised of executives from large and medium size airports, as well as hundreds of managers from smaller airports used by general and commercial aviation. IAAE Canada is proud to offer its premier credential the Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.) "The Mark of an Airport Professional". The value of the A.A.E. mark is the public, the airport industry and the candidate knowing that only those who have proven a high level of knowledge, managerial skill, discipline and professionalism are awarded the Accredited Airport Executive designation.
