The Los Angeles Air Cargo Association is a resource of dedicated air cargo related industries serving the Los Angeles area communities. The association provides its members with networking opportunities, educational seminars, and current industry briefings that enable airfreight businesses to become more connected and providers of quality service.

The ACI-NA Air Cargo Committee is committed to advancing the industry's understanding and knowledge of air cargo economics and practices. Its focus is to assist airport operators in the management of existing air cargo resources, maximization of potential air cargo opportunities and the enhancement of air cargo revenues, in addition to providing a forum to discuss cargo-related security issues and developing concerns in the air cargo industry.
