Aerial Applicators

The agricultural aviation industry is made up of small businesses and pilots that use aircraft to aid farmers in producing a safe, affordable and abundant supply of food, fiber and bio-fuel, in addition to protecting forestry and controlling health-threatening pests.

The Alberta Aerial Applicators Association works in conjunction with the Canadian Aerial Applicators Association to promote the benefits of aerial application to the public and conducts programs and services to ensure the continued success of the industry.
