Strategic Aviation Special Interest Group (SASIG)

★ Advancing Sustainable Aviation Policy on Behalf of Local Communities ★ SASIG is a forum for Local Authorities and other regional representatives to come together to share information and resources on regional aviation issues. Topics cover a wide range of local aviation activities and airport related developments. SASIG creates the opportunity for its members to speak collectively to Government and Regulatory Authorities on these important aviation subjects, creating greater resonance and impact for regional concerns. SASIG’s objectives are: - To promote the need for long-term, sustainable aviation policies that lead to a reduction in the environmental impact of aviation whilst securing appropriate social and economic benefits. - To increase understanding of the local and global impacts of aviation on the environment and communities. - To identify and promote the changes needed to move towards sustainable aviation practices within the industry and Government. - To work with other organisations and the Government on the formulation of policy advice. - To lead on sustainable aviation policy and help influence both the direction of travel and engagement in local issues through our representative presence. SASIG holds regular Technical Working Group meetings for interested members. These groups look at strategic policy areas relating to airports and provide a forum for discussion and information-sharing on these issues.
