About Us

The Tioga Airport Authority (TAA) consists of five volunteers with diverse backgrounds who are approved of and appointed by the Tioga City Council. The purpose of the TAA is to improve, operate, maintain and grow aviation through the Tioga Municipal Airport.

A Vision Statement communicates to board members, employees, guests, tenants and the community both the purpose and values of the Tioga Airport. For employees/board members, it gives direction about how they are expected to behave and inspires them to give their best. For the community, it shapes a community understanding of why they should work with the TAA.

A Mission Statement defines the TAA’s purpose and primary objectives. Its prime function is internal to define the key measure or measures of the organization’s success and its prime audience is the leadership team and stakeholders.
A Values Statement contains the guiding beliefs about how things should be done.

Tioga Municipal Airport was refurbished into a new general aviation terminal in the fall of 2019. Years of arduous work culminated in creating the new terminal. The rise of the energy industry has contributed significantly to the increase in aircraft operations at the airport over the past ten years.

Vision Statement

Our community must continue to preserve its local aviation means while serving personal general aviation intelligently, safely, and securely.
