About the Chamber

Mission of the Chamber
The Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce was established for the purpose of developing a coalition of businesses in the communities surrounding the Pittsburgh International Airport.  Its mission is to advance and encourage the growth of the commercial, industrial, civic and other interests of these communities as well as promoting and encouraging observance of the highest ethical and moral standards in the conduct of business within these same communities.

Our History
The Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber can trace its roots back to 1904, when it was founded as the Coraopolis Board of Trade. Reorganized in 1949 as the Coraopolis Chamber of Commerce, the organization name was changed to Coraopolis Area Chamber of Commerce, then in 1970, to the Airport Area Chamber of Commerce.  The name change reflected the Chamber's growing sphere of influence and its ability to attract businesses, professionals and civic-minded individuals from Coraopolis  Borough and Crescent, Findlay, Moon, Neville, North Fayette and Robinson townships and other outlying communities to join its ranks.

Service / Market Area
Strategically located, the Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to be the voice of businesses in the airport area corridor municipalities surrounding the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport.
