Given a Banach operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we investigate the approximation property related to the ideal of $\mathcal A$-compact operators, $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$-AP. We prove that a Banach space X has the $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$-AP if and only if there exists a λ ≥ 1 such that for every Banach space Y and every R ∈ $\mathcal K_{\mathcal A}$(Y, X),
