When we think of airport services management, we should first think of the considerable amount of expertise and experience required to conduct airport operations on either a general aviation or commercial airport.
The specialized range of tasks and operations has made airport facility management services distinct disciplines of which there are few U.S. companies with deep experience and proven track records.
Operating and managing an airport requires a blend of experience and skill sets in order to efficiently manage these unique transportation properties.
The services encompassing airport facility management can be quite complex. These services include but are not limited to terminal services, Air Traffic Control (ATC), maintaining weather and navigation systems, and various ground handling. The services are generally required both at commercial and general aviation airports. There are some aviation management companies with this unique experience that are capable of managing a plethora of tasks.
Requirements vary based upon the classification and size of the airport but there are some general categories which usually apply. Specific requirements may include anything from the management of facilities ranging from terminals (commercial and general aviation) to aircraft hangars and vehicular parking decks. Other services may include handling the movement of the passengers, cargo and baggage. Additional services include maintaining core airport infrastructure such as runways, taxiways and ramp areas.

Companies which offer airport services management achieve success by leveraging their experience and skill sets across a network of locations and incorporating industry leading best practices. This is achieved by implementing customized solutions at each airport.
