Airport Facility Management Services - Key Areas to Address

Airport facility management services are in demand from aviation asset owners with airport holdings, both infrastructure and service related. These services are highly sought from firms with direct airport management experience.

What Are The Most Important Aspects?

Airport management and integrated services are all about a specific and pre-defined set of requirements which are provided by an experienced management company on behalf of an asset owner.  The aviation asset owner may be a public entity such as a municipality or authority or it may be a private entity with institutional capital such as an alternative asset manager or family office. The breadth of services can vary greatly from turnkey complete airport management to specialized services based on specific facilities such as terminals (commercial and general aviation), hangars, or on-airport services such as FBO, MRO and ACM services.

Airport Facility Management Services

The management services are required at both general aviation and commercial airports and airports of varying sizes from regional reliever airports to international hubs. The specialized companies performing these services may also be responsible for various support services such as terminal management, aircraft ground handling and facility maintenance.

They may specialize in different aspects of the airport experience from core infrastructure to on-airport services. Some airport facility management services are provided through engagements directly with the airport sponsors whereas others are engaged by other asset owners like institutional capital firms, airport tenants etc.

The Need for Specialized Services

Most of the requirements mentioned above require a great deal of experience and a proven track record in aviation and airport management. Companies that are involved in general facility management in other industries often do not the regulatory requirements and vagaries associated with the aviation industry.

The most critical item for an aviation management firm is bringing experienced human capital to the project. An experienced aviation management team can efficiently transform operations without the time and expense of a steep learning curve.

There are companies which have the requisite depth and breadth of experience and capabilities to provide all potential services which may be needed whereas others may be limited to certain specialized services. Regardless, they should have a proven track record providing comparable services at similar size airports.
