Dear Ohio Aviation Association Members,

We’re pleased to announce that the Ohio Aviation Association has purchased full access and integration of Spatial Engage for all dues paying members. This innovative platform will allow each member airport to:

• Access a contextual map of their airport and link it to our master state association map,
• Create one private map to engage stakeholders,
• Support master plan promotion, operations, and long-term sustainability efforts.

Ohio airports are a doorway to our communities.  As your association we want to help you get noticed, funding, support, stakeholder engagement, connect us together, visibility, provide a way show to data, and move us to the next level of communication.  Check out the soft launch of this new tool for Ohio airports on the OAA homepage - www.ohioaviation.org. ;

Spatial Engage will be presenting what we are doing as an association at our upcoming conference in April.

In an effort to complete as much back end work as possible, we kindly ask that you click here to complete a QUESTIONNAIRE before as soon as possible.  There are only a few questions so it should only take you a few minutes to complete. 

Eventually, as a paid member, you will all get access to your own map portal which will be explained to you at an onboarding webinar before the annual conference.  That session will guide you through logging in and making the most of your Spatial Engage access.

The OAA is committed to ensuring our aviation community remains a national leader in forward-thinking aviation protection, investment, and long-term sustainability. Airports—regardless of size—are critical to the economic development and vitality of the communities they serve.

You may recall that Spatial Engage presented at the April 2025 Ohio Aviation Conference, where they demonstrated their unique expertise in community engagement and visual storytelling. Their specialization and technology are unmatched, helping airports effectively communicate their value and vision.

At a time when we face pilot shortages, rising fuel costs, and staffing challenges, it’s more important than ever to embrace tools that help Ohio’s airports and aviation industry thrive.

We also wish to congratulate Spatial Engage on their successful appointment as the official engagement platform for the 2030 Summer Olympics in Australia — a testament to their global leadership and innovation.

For a local perspective on effective this tool is, please reach out to Dave Gal  (Cambridge Airport Manager), who can share his firsthand experience with Spatial Engage.

Additionally:

• Advanced Air Mobility (AAM): Spatial Engage is the world leader in AAM visualizations and communications, supporting airports expanding into new mobility initiatives.
• Lake Erie Region Airports: For airports with flights to Pelee Island or Canada, Spatial Engage already powers Pelee Island’s tourism and airport mapping, enabling seamless collaboration across the border.  Click here to see how the airport becomes the portal to the local community and a tool to drive economic development within the community.

Think of Spatial Engage as a shared communication platform — that makes collaboration and storytelling easier than ever.
