Avports’ Post

At this year’s GAD - Global Airport Development Conference Americas in Miami, I was honored to have shared a panel discussion on airport P3 development at US airports with Patrick Heck from Vantage Airport Group and Amit Rikhy from Carlyle Airport Group. Thank you Jody Aldcorn from McCarthy Tétrault for doing a great job keeping everyone engaged as the panel’s moderator. At Avports, we are committed to advancing the airport industry’s thought leadership with other successful US P3 airport operators, developers and investors or sponsors, it’s #theavportsway.

As sponsors and speakers, we invite you to join us in Miami next week, May 30-31, at the GAD - Global Airport Development Conference - Americas. Some members of our exec team at Avports will be presenting on the future of Regional Air Mobility and separately sharing insights from our recent 40-year public-private partnership (P3) lease at DC’s Manassas Regional Airport (HEF). One of the main goals for Manassas is to begin scheduled commercial passenger service next year summer of 2025 (Project Details: https://flymanassas.us) Conference details: https://lnkd.in/gz7uabBK Use code AVP20 for a 20% discount Our exec team speaking at GAD: Jorge Roberts - CEO Arturo García-Alonso - COO Matt Shelby - CDO Attending but not speaking: Rasmus Stauning Agerskov - Chief of Staff #theavportsway

🚀 We're thrilled to be attending the 2024 JumpStart Air Service Development Event this week! ✈️ It's an exciting opportunity to share our newest development opportunities with airline partners (and highlight a few more on the horizon for this year), including Avports' development of Washington DC’s newest commercial airport in Manassas, VA. With only a quick 40-minute trip down I-66 to Washington DC, Manassas Regional Airport (HEF) will be the closest commercial airport to more than 1.5M area residents. Opening Summer 2025!! If you're here, we'd love to connect!

Attending last week’s Manassas Business Appreciation Breakfast, hosted by the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, offered a valuable opportunity to network with Manassas' business leaders and listen to City of Manassas Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger provide an update on her administration’s great work in fostering a thriving business environment. It was equally enlightening to engage with business community leaders such as Zuzana Steen from Micron Technology, who are positively contributing to the economic growth of Manassas and Prince William County. At Avports, we acknowledge the crucial role our long-term public-private partnerships (P3) play in bringing commercial service to underserved regional airports. Our public-private partnership (P3) with the City of Manassas and Airport Director Juan Rivera’s team at Manassas Regional Airport exemplifies this commitment, fostering economic prosperity within the community. It’s #theavportsway!

Had an incredibly fruitful American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) Conference in Nashville! It was fantastic to reunite with both familiar faces and new connections in the industry. Our Avports executives and alumni were actively engaged #theavportsway, adding to the thought leadership of the event and AAAE Committees.

I feel incredibly honored and humbled to have participated in McKinsey & Company’s Regional Air Mobility Summit. I'm immensely thankful to Robin Riedel and his team for including me. The leaders at this summit are not only some of the most brilliant minds in our industry, but they are also changing and disrupting the way we travel. Thanks to these leaders, there is a bright and promising and sustainable future for US and European regional airports. At Avports, we are excited to be part of this future, it’s #theavportsway!
