The International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA) is a nonprofit federation of 66 autonomous, nongovernmental, national general aviation organizations. IAOPA has represented international general aviation for more than 35 years.
The combined total of individuals represented by these constituent member groups of IAOPA is over 470,000 pilots, who fly general aviation aircraft for business and personal transportation. General aviation is defined by ICAO as "All civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire."
The AOPAs are organised into regions – IAOPA-Europe has 24 nations in membership and represents the interests of general aviation at the European Commission and Parliament, EASA, Eurocontrol and other pan-European regulatory bodies. Each national AOPA works separately with its own regulators and government organisations.
AOPA-US is by far the largest, with over 400,000 members whose subscriptions and lobbying power make AOPA a major player in Washington. Despite being almost 100 times smaller, AOPA-UK punches far above its weight with regulators in Britain, in Brussels and in Cologne.
Martin Robinson, is currently the Regional Vice President of Europe for IAOPA.
