The mission of the Aviation Division is to manage the operations, maintenance, and development of Cobb County Airport McCollum Field in a safe and efficient manner and in compliance with federal rules and regulations, so as to serve the general aviation transportation needs of the community and contribute to the economic development of Cobb County.

During the past decade, McCollum has gradually transformed from a recreational airport to a business-class airport, hosting about 350 takeoffs and landings each day.

The major goals of this division are to continue development of the master plan safety enhancement projects, as reflected in the current Airport Layout Plan, to improve safety of McCollum Airport, and to enhance aesthetics through signage and landscaping to favorably impress first-time visitors to McCollum Airport.
