A candid discussion with airport owners leading some of the nation’s most ambitious capital improvement programs on how alternative delivery models are reshaping airport development.
As passenger volumes rebound and terminals, airfields, and landside facilities require modernization, airport sponsors are increasingly turning to Progressive Design-Build, CMAR, P3s, and hybrid delivery structures to manage risk, accelerate schedules, and improve cost certainty.
This panel will feature senior representatives from major airport sponsors who will share firsthand insights into procurement strategy, risk allocation, stakeholder coordination, and navigating federal funding requirements.
Panelists will discuss how alternative delivery models intersect with FAA oversight, airline agreements, bond financing, and public accountability and where traditional design-bid-build still plays a role. The conversation will explore lessons learned from recent terminal redevelopments, airfield upgrades, and landside projects, as well as how owners are structuring programs to attract qualified private partners in a competitive construction market.
