Guide to Airport Consultants Basics
Learning airport consultants basics provides you with up-to-date airport improvements
By Angela Roe, Freelance Writer
Meet with several airport design experts and discuss the project in detail. Make sure you outline a budget for the project, determine the time frame in which you expect to see the work completed, and provide a detailed list of the changes you want to see incorporated into the project.
1. Understand what the role of an airport consulting firm is.
2. Learn what an airport management consultant can do for you.
3. Find airport consulting firms that provide a full range of services.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Educate yourself on airport management consultants
Take the time to learn about the business of airport consultants. Airport consultants will evaluate the space you have, along with your budget and your projected growth. Using that information, they will then help you create an updated airport that meets your goals. You can use airport consultants to rehabilitate the interior of your terminal or to create an entirely new airport. Industry magazines and other sources can give you basic information on airport consultants as well as trends in airport improvements.
I recommend: Airport Revenue News is a magazine published monthly that is geared toward airport executives and that has published multiple articles on airline consultants. Just search for "airline consultants" on its News Archives page. Designboom hosts a pictorial of new and contemporary airport design to help you get an idea of where airport construction is going and to give you ideas of possibilities. Airport Magazine has published several articles on airport improvements, including a cover story on going green.
Know what to expect from airport consulting companies
Know what a well-run airport looks like so you can recognize what prospective consulting companies are offering you. If you're not able to recognize an incomplete or unrealistic proposal, you're not going to be able to make the best decisions with regard to what consultants you should hire or you should stay away from. Make sure you know the minimum standards for airport improvements as outlined by regulatory statutes to avoid costly penalties.
I recommend: NASA offers a tutorial to help you understand the dynamics of what goes into planning an efficient and well-run airport. The Federal Aviation Administration has specific documents for you to purchase that clearly outline the minimum standards for airport improvements as well as recommendations for you to consider. Check with airport consulting firms to make sure they have this information on hand and available for you to review.
Find airport consulting companies that offer full service and experience
Ask each consulting company you meet with to provide you with a full proposal so you can compare what each firm offers side by side. Only once you can inspect each proposal can you make the best decision for your project.
I recommend: Jacobs Consultancy provides a full range of airport consulting services, including environmental planning, feasibility studies and simulation modeling so you clearly understand its plans. LBR has worked as the airport consulting company in multiple projects in Oklahoma and Kansas.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Talk to the Federal Aviation Administration to find out about grants designed to help defer the costs of airport improvements. Work with airport consulting companies that are familiar with the process of applying for these FAA grants.
Whether developing a new airline or modifying an existing airport, airport consulting companies provide a comprehensive range of services to increase profitability and evaluate effectiveness. With vast resources, airport consulting companies can study current and potential traffic, design and implement plans to increase airport usage and develop productive financial strategies. The business of airports is about the most effective delivery of the right airport infrastructure, the best facilities, and the finest service – all directed at moving air passengers and cargo in a safe and secure manner.
Before beginning your search for consulting services for airports, it is important to define your needs. Clearly identify the goal of your airport consulting service, including project scope, time frame and budget. This information will help you select the best airport consulting firm to meet your specific needs.
When selecting an airport consultant, research each firm and evaluate the following:
1. What kind of experience does each airport consulting company offer to optimize the use of your airport and related aviation services?
2. What services do the airport management consulting firms provide to direct airport projects from concept to completion?
3. How much should your business invest in commercial or private airport consulting services?

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Hire airport consultants that specialize in your aviation business sector
Select an airport management consultant who is a seasoned professional with extensive experience in your commercial or private aviation business. Ask to see a list of past and present clients, and request references.
I recommend: Airport Research Center provides international airport engineering and consulting services, and features an online client list. ACA Associates specializes in the commercial aviation industry and has worked with a variety of clients in the aviation and aerospace sector, financial institutions, law firms and airports. Aviation Management Consulting Group serves aviation businesses and airports in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, South America and Asia.
Choose airport consulting firms with proven skills
Review the consulting work provided by each airfield consultancy. Evaluate the airport consulting firm's experience, qualifications and certifications, and request successful project examples of the specific skill sets you need. Assess the ability of airport design experts to achieve operational success while fulfilling the needs of passengers, airport tenants and government agencies.
I recommend: Hatch Mott MacDonald offers airfield, support and terminal services, and provides online case studies illustrating the firm's successful airport and airline projects. Keady Transportation Consulting features strategic travel, airline and airport consulting services. Strategic Aviation Consultants & Advisors has extensive experience in airport infrastructure.
Select airport consultants that meet your budget
Many airport management consultants operate on a retainer with a minimum time commitment. Several utilize an hourly fee structure for short-term projects. Your airport consulting service cost will depend upon the scope of your services.
I recommend: Request a quote for airport operational safety consulting at Neubert Aero. Get a price estimate for your next airport project at Stantec, an award-winning professional design and consulting services firm.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Before signing an airport management consultants contract, ask about the consulting firm's experience in working with today's constantly evolving security requirements. Some airport consultants simply receive and implement new regulation information from government agencies, while others actively work with the FAA to set policy. Evaluate how closely each airport consulting firm works with the Federal Aviation Association and other regulatory agencies.
Guide to Airport Consultants Education and Training
Find educational resources for airport consultants
By Trisha Schulz
Airport consulting companies work with airports and airlines in a variety of roles and may address topics such as management, technology, ethics, law, safety and many others. Many airports will seek out consultants when facing challenges, so problem-solving skills and working well under pressure prevail as other key skills to learn.
Consider the following information regarding training and education in the aviation consultant and management fields:
1. Airport consultants education and training will help you stand out in a competitive job market in the aviation field.
2. An airport consulting firm will look for a potential job candidate with a varied amount of education and experience in both business and aviation fields.
3. Self-study courses and customized training are also available for an airport management consultant to continue education beyond the initial hire.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Become an airport consultant by getting a degree in aviation management or related program
You want the job? Most likely you'll need a degree first, and becoming an aviation consultant is no different. A degree in aviation management includes courses such as aviation insurance and labor relations as well as marketing and maintenance. You may also want to consider a graduate degree depending on the particular career you want to pursue.
I recommend: Check out online degree options through World Wide Learn, or a traditional degree such as the undergraduate program in Aviation Management Technology at Eastern Michigan University.
Find online airport consulting courses for continuing education
Working as an airport consultant may require you to adapt a willingness for lifelong learning. Your employer may encourage you to attend seminars or complete online courses as part of your duties.
I recommend: From airport safety and security to standards and compliance, browse the online courses offered by Airports Council International. Master planning and strategic management courses, among others,can be taken through the International Air Transport Association.
Read articles especially written for airport management consultants
Just as in any industry, the aviation field is constantly revolving with new technology and strategies when it comes to efficiency, security and other challenges. Keeping up with current aviation industry issues will be a significant step toward keeping your job and doing it well.
I recommend: Check out issues of Airport Consulting magazine through the Airport Consultants Council. Read about acquisition, cost management, taxes and other aviation topics with Conklin & de Decker. You can also sign up for an e-newsletter.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • When choosing a school for airfield consultancy, consider any pre-requisites that may be required, the curriculum, job placement assistance, costs, program length, internship requirements and the ratio of faculty members to students.
Airport consulting firms and airport design experts work with airport owners and managers to improve financial management, aviation control, employee training, facility efficiency and customer satisfaction in airports. Airport consulting companies work to improve the overall level of operation as a result of their airport consulting services.
Airport management consultants can be beneficial to improving airport business, but it's important to work with airport consultants that meet the needs of your specific facilities. When working with airport consultants, aim to:
1. Find airport consulting that addresses your specific needs.
2. Determine if airfield consultancy is a wise investment for your business.
3. Work with an airport consulting company that can improve the efficiency of your facility.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find consulting services for airports that will help your business
Airport management consulting is a widely varied field that can include airport design management, aviation and traffic consulting, and financial and administration consulting services. Work with an airport consulting firm that addresses the problems and issues of your facility without charging you for extraneous or unnecessary services.
I recommend: Eclat Consulting offers airport consultancy services that focus on economic and financial aspects of airport management. Determine if their financial analysis program is right for you. Sixel Consulting Group can help with marketing strategies for your airport, help your facility market its services to new clientele, and develop new services to implement to improve efficiency.
Work with an airport consultant that understands your concerns and needs
An airport consultant should help you find ways to improve your airport facility and learn new ways of managing it and marketing it to increase business efficiency and performance. Find an airport consulting firm that works with you to address your facility's specific needs while marketing it to new demographics. Your airport consultant should help solve problems, advise you on managerial tactics, and develop new business strategies.
I recommend: The AV Group works with established airport businesses to improve financial and managerial efficiency and also offers marketing consulting services to new facilities. Kathleen Boyd Airport Consulting Incorporated specializes in competitive marketing strategies.
Utilize a certified and experienced airport management consulting firm
Since airport consultants specialize in so many different areas of airport management consultancy, it's important to work with a firm that is experienced and knowledgeable about the specific areas that your business needs help with. Find certified airport consulting service companies to provide you with consulting support.
I recommend: The Airport Consultants Council provides resources and guides to airport consulting firms that will help you find the right firm to meet your needs. The International Air Transport Association offers consulting and support for airlines and aviation manufacturers.
