The ALAEA is a federally registered Australian organisation that represents the industrial, technical and professional interests of Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (LAMEs) and other civil aircraft maintenance workers.
The desire to establish the ALAEA arose in the late fifties; the association was registered in 1967 in order for LAMEs to control the future of their profession. Today the ALAEA is a very successful organisation and a key player in aviation industrial issues.
ALAEA membership includes most LAMEs employed in regular public transport and regional airlines, and has widespread coverage of LAMEs and AMEs in General Aviation. Also currently membership extends to Technical Officers, Maintenance Planners Instructors, Librarians, Trades Assistants, Aircraft Tradespersons Sheetmetal workers and other aircraft maintenance personnel and support staff. Current membership is in excess of 4,000.
