The union represents flight attendants at 20 airlines. These range from mainline to regional, charter, and international carriers. The site says AFA negotiates contracts and works to maintain wages, benefits, and working conditions.

The site says about 29,000 Delta flight attendants and more than 5,000 SkyWest flight attendants are organizing to join AFA. It also lists campaigns on air quality and on ending tiers in aviation.

AFA's work areas include protecting workplace rights, advocating for careers, promoting aviation safety, health, and security, advancing human rights and equity, and supporting flight attendants. The site also lists labor and contract negotiations and advocacy on legislation.

Member resources include benefits, a guide on workplace rights, the constitution and bylaws, and an employee assistance program. The site also lists an AFA disaster relief fund, guides and manuals, and an addiction and recovery program. A membership hub and AFA-CWA elections are listed as well.

The site has a contact page, a newsletter sign up, and a media releases page. Social pages include Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. The site does not list a street address. The site says the union has a membership hub and an AFA shop. It lists media releases and news on labor contracts, picket actions, and a boycott campaign against Starbucks.
