Council for Airport Opportunity
Council for Airport Opportunity (CAO) is a nonprofit trade association created in 1972 in collaboration with airline companies, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Mayor’s Offices of the City of Newark, and City of New York, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The mission of CAO is to identify and address the critical employment needs of the communities surrounding the New York and New Jersey Metropolitan airports, while at the same time responding to the hiring needs of the airport tenants and the aviation industry.
CAO offers free services to our many different constituents — the residents of the localities surrounding the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan airports, businesses/employers in the aviation industry, and community partner organizations.
