California Aviation Day

The mission of the annual California Aviation Day at the Capitol is to inform legislators, staff, and the general public about the importance of aviation to the welfare of the California economy and to raise the level of awareness of the benefits of aviation to all Californians.

Aviation provides vital services to individuals, families, churches, hospitals, colleges, and large and small businesses, including efficient access to remote portions of our state, overnight mail delivery, essential health care, emergency medical transport, and emergency response.

Our Message

Aviation is vital to the California economy.
Airports and aviation create jobs.
State support of California’s airports is completely funded by user fees.
The historical level of state support is insufficient to sustain the infrastructure.
