Founded in 1984, the Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA) is an international trade association with a distinguished history of educating and representing certificated aviation maintenance and alteration facilities before the U.S. Congress, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and other national aviation authorities (NAAs). Through ARSA, the industry speaks with a single voice to lawmakers, regulators, and the media. ARSA is the only association devoted to the unique regulatory needs of the worldwide civil aviation community, ARSA helps develop guidance, policy and interpretations that are clear, concise and applied uniformly to all similarly situated companies and individuals. We work with legislators on Capitol Hill to advance an agenda that benefits our membership and aviation safety in general. We are dedicated to helping companies run their operations more efficiently. Your membership helps support these efforts. Through ARSA's Positive Publicity Campaign (PPC), the Association engages in media advocacy and public relations to improve the legal, regulatory, and business climate for aviation maintenance. The campaign has provided research that has quantified the industry’s global and domestic economic footprint, clearly showing the industry’s positive economic and employment impact.
