ARC - Airport Regions Conference - is an association of European cities and regions that host major international airports.[1] It was founded in 1994.[2]

[edit] Purpose and mission

The common concern of ARC and its members is to balance the economic benefits generated by the airports against their environmental impact. The ARC debates practical urban issues,[3] bringing together a wide range of expertise at the interface of air transport and local and regional policies, aiming to strengthen the position of cities and regions against higher level forces.[4] ARC represents more than 30 European regions and cities with about 100 million citizens.
