AIRPORTS

Airport managers and their boards are on the front lines of their communities' aspirations for local and regional economic development. No less than airlines, they operate in a highly competitive and challenging environment. Airport managers lead community efforts to secure air service to markets not served, while preserving service to markets that are served. They are limited in the revenue streams they can tap. They must efficiently manage enormous capital development programs, negotiate complex financial transactions, provide state-of-the-art concessions (and a variety of other services to demanding customers), all while maintaining a day-to-day operation that processes thousands of passengers in a secure environment.

GCW's team of airport veterans have lived these problems and have consistently devised creative strategies to meet their airport clients' objectives. They have assisted airports around the world with hub development strategies, improving passenger flows; and efficiency enhancing management techniques. On the facilities side, they have assisted airports with master planning, passenger terminal facility design and aerodrome design and operations.  They know what it takes to configure an airport for economic take-off; to attract new and additional service by airlines; to attract consumers to use the facility and spend their money once there; and how to pay for it all.
