Arora Receives AAAE 2025 Inclusion in Aviation Award
We are proud to announce that Arora Engineers (Arora) has been recognized by the Northeast Chapter, American Association of Airport Executives (NEC/AAAE) with the prestigious Inclusion in Aviation Award.
This award celebrates firms that demonstrate a sustained commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the aviation industry, values that are central to Arora’s mission and culture.
A Legacy of Inclusion
Arora has long championed DEI as a foundation for innovation and equity in the built environment. In addition to this year’s recognition from AAAE and NEC, Arora previously received a similar honor with the Inclusion Champion Award from Airports Council International (ACI), further demonstrating our consistent and evolving impact in fostering inclusive practices across the aviation sector.
This latest award reinforces our ongoing progress, from expanding supplier diversity partnerships to launching internal initiatives that promote equity and belonging. For Arora, inclusion isn’t a one-time milestone; it’s a continuous journey powered by accountability, transparency, and measurable change.
Our Commitment in Action
Over the past year, we have strengthened our DEI efforts through:
- Inclusive Hiring Practices: Ensuring equity in recruitment, onboarding, and career advancement.
- Mentorship Programs: Supporting underrepresented professionals in the AEC and aviation sectors.
- Community Engagement: Collaborating with schools, nonprofits, and diverse-owned businesses to broaden access and opportunity.
- Internal Initiatives: Hosting DEI workshops, roundtables, and employee resource group events that promote cultural awareness and empathy.
- These initiatives are designed not just to meet benchmarks, but to create lasting impact within Arora and the communities we serve.
Looking Ahead
We thank the AAAE NEC for recognizing our continued efforts. This award is a testament to the hard work of our employees, the collaboration of our partners, and the strength of our shared values. Winning the Inclusion Champion Award underscores that we are not only committed to building better environments, but ensuring they are open, equitable, and inclusive for all.
