The UK’s leading networking association for foreign airline executives.
Welcome to the FAA - the UK’s leading networking association for foreign airline executives.
Whether you are a Country Manager, General Manager or a Commercial Executive representing a foreign carrier in the UK, the FAA provides the perfect platform to promote your airline and meet like-minded airline executives in a non-competitive, professional yet informal environment.
We provide a wonderful opportunity to get together with Aviation colleagues to share insights on commercial issues and opportunities, whilst adhering to competition law, in a relaxed social setting.
What’s great about THE FAA?
In existence for over 75 years, the Foreign Airlines Association UK was set up to allow overseas senior executives the opportunity to build a network of contacts and exchange cultural experiences during their posting in London.
The philosophy of the association remains broadly the same today, but acknowledges that the diversity of where senior country management now originates from has changed.
Make a difference - together
Today, the association hosts regular networking events, allowing members to meet and discuss matters of mutual interests. We continue to add value to the membership through presentations and talks from leading influencers from both inside and outside the industry on a wide range of topics relating to running a successful airline business in the UK.
Support network
FAA’s ultimate goal is to ensure members are given the opportunity to share ideas, views, recommendations, challenges and concerns in a friendly environment in order to help them find practical and tested solutions among a support network of skilled and likeminded peers. Join us, remember the journey is always more important than the destination!
Summer Lunch 2025
The most recent FAA event took place in June, it was a great opportunity to catch up with industry friends and associates and it took place at The Mandrake Hotel in Fitzrovia.
The world’s longest established association of its kind, facilitating the exchange of expertise and best practice among the foreign airline community, here in the UK.

FAA Spring 2025 Lunch
At this year’s Spring event, we enjoyed delicious food and drinks at Tattu, a stylish Chinese restaurant known for its striking design and contemporary take on Chinese cuisine. We were enlightened by Julia Simpson, who is the President & CEO of World Travel & Tourism. We enjoyed hearing her insights on the economic and social impact and potential of Travel & Tourism, speaking on the open terrace at Tattu with gorgeous views of the London skyline. At every FAA event, we introduce our members to a new speaker. Don’t miss out, join us next time!
