Airport Regions Council (ARC) - formerly known as Airport Regions Conference, is an association of regional and local authorities with an international airport within or near their territories, founded in 1994.^[1]

The governance structure of the organisation includes an executive committee (the President and 7 members), an Assembly (ARC member regions) and a Secretariat, which is based in Brussels, Belgium.
