This spring, a reimagined concessions program emerged at JFK Terminal 8 in John F. Kennedy International Airport - JFK. The $125 million project more than doubled the terminal’s commercial footprint and delivered dozens of new places for passengers to eat, drink, shop, relax and be entertained. The massive effort was a collaboration among The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (which operates the entire airport), American Airlines (the terminal operator and largest carrier), ASUR Airports (terminal commercial developer and manager) and Phoenix Infrastructure Group (ASUR’s equity partner for the project).

This June, parking for visitors at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) became a little easier with the opening of a new seven-level garage located directly across from the South Domestic Terminal. The $441 million South Red Deck project is the first phase of a complete overhaul and expansion of parking at the busy airport.

It’s not unusual to see passengers looking up at airports. After all, going up is the whole point of being there. But when the first travelers walked into the newly expanded C Concourse space at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) in June, they were looking up for a whole different reason. The four-story, $399 million expansion is a sight to behold.

Five years ago, Muskegon County Airport (MKG) was close to shutting its doors to commercial service. The Federal Aviation Administration was preparing to pull the West Michigan airfield’s Part 139 operating certificate, and there hadn’t been a leader on hand to manage the declining situation for one and a half years. The small airport that once anchored its community’s air connection to the rest of the country and world was quietly slipping toward irrelevance.

Today the story reads very differently.

Earlier this year, more than a dozen Canadian consortia responsible for fueling and/or deicing operations throughout the country began using a cloud-based platform to centralize asset records, inspections and maintenance activities, compliance documentation, engineering information and planning data. Authorized users can access role-appropriate reports, dashboard data and other information across participating facilities in their portfolio 24/7 via connected web or mobile devices.
