“We don’t have enough to get more funding.”

Fruitless consulting projects

Legacy handcuffs

Fears of losing tenants

One-sided deals

Appraisal bias

Yearly funds scramble

Calling around

 Answers for airport stakeholders

  • On-call engineers and planners focus on safety, geometry, and traffic performance of capital projects. In contrast, AIR Snapshot is designed to provide existing teams with missing fiscal insights that are critical for long-term success yet consistently ignored in the modern aviation system.

  • If the Snapshot shows serious misalignment or big opportunities, we can step into a deeper program to plug gaps in airport performance. Alternatively, you can take the report back to your existing consultants and use it as a roadmap — you’re not locked into a longer engagement.

  • No. AIR Snapshot is a one-week, high-level readiness audit. We use your existing data to baseline key KPIs, identify risks, and flag quick wins. If you need a full appraisal or detailed engineering, we’ll point to what should come next — but this won’t replace your engineer of record or appraiser.

  • No. AIR Snapshot is an internal planning tool for you and your sponsor. It’s built from FAA policy and market data, but it isn’t filed with FAA, and you decide what you share with ADO or your state program managers.

  • Please see the form above for requested confirmed inputs. If something is missing, we’ll work with what you have and highlight where better data would sharpen the picture.
