Aviation
The design and construction of modern airport facilities require deep knowledge across multiple disciplines to maintain operations during construction while maintaining project budgets and schedules. From passenger terminals and fueling systems to airfield infrastructure and maintenance facilities, we deliver solutions to keep aircraft and airport functions advancing efficiently and safely.
How Aviation Infrastructure Demands Are Evolving
From operational expansions to environmental considerations, aviation infrastructure supports a growing number of capabilities. Airports and airlines face continuous demands to modernize, rehabilitate aging assets and adapt to evolving regulations. With extensive experience in airfield design, facility construction and security systems, we help airports enhance operations with infrastructure and systems built to meet evolving airline and airport needs.
The aviation industry is evolving to address emerging challenges, integrating advanced management information systems to enhance security and streamline operations while advancing sustainable, reliable fuel solutions to support the future of air travel. Supply chain and economic pressures add complexity to airport operations, making efficiency, adaptability and strategic planning critical. Airports that navigate these complexities with the right partners — one who understand scope, schedule and integrated service solutions — are positioned to shape the future of flight.
How Burns & McDonnell Delivers Aviation Solutions
Our team specializes in every aspect of aviation facility development, including program management, master planning, facility design, environmental permitting, and operational systems. Leveraging adaptable project delivery methods, we deliver cost-efficient, sustainable aviation solutions to support advanced security systems and large-scale terminal development. Our integrated program management approach helps airports and airlines navigate complex initiatives while maintaining operational continuity.
Navigate Complexity With Aviation Program Management
Large-scale aviation initiatives demand strategic coordination and alignment with operational goals. Our program management services provide structured oversight, guiding projects from planning to execution with a focus on cost control, risk mitigation and schedule optimization. We help airports address regulatory complexities, including FAA compliance, permitting and funding strategies, while also exploring alternative delivery models such as progressive design-build and construction manager-at-risk. With a lean approach, we enhance project scalability, allowing airports to allocate resources toward infrastructure improvements rather than excessive administrative oversight.
Building the Future of Air Travel
Aviation infrastructure must support long-term adaptability and performance. Our commissioning services verify that systems operate efficiently from day one, reducing maintenance costs and optimizing functionality. Smart airport systems, predictive maintenance, and automation drive operational efficiency and improve passenger experience. By balancing immediate project needs with long-term scalability, we help airports develop resilient infrastructure that evolves with industry demands, shaping the future of air travel.
