About ARSA
The Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA) is the only association devoted to the unique needs of the global civil aviation maintenance industry. The association is dedicated to helping its more than 400 member companies run their operations more efficiently and effectively, while continuing to ensure the safety of aircraft worldwide.
To that end, ARSA endeavors to:
- Raise the legislative and regulatory profile of the aviation maintenance industry;
- Help regulators develop guidance, policy, and interpretations that are clear, concise, and consistent, and applied uniformly to all similarly situated companies and individuals;
- Work with legislators on Capitol Hill to advance an agenda that benefits industry and aviation safety in general;
- Differentiate between government functions and industry responsibilities;
- Provide training, advisory materials, news services, and regulatory expertise to ensure members remain compliant in a heavily regulated industry; and
- Offer technical and legal expertise to analyze and respond to government actions.
Ensuring good government and fair oversight is hard work — ARSA does the spadework that provides the aviation industry with the essential knowledge and practical advice needed to ensure business survival.
