Avports

Founded in 1927 as a division of Pan American World Airways, Avports is America’s most experienced and trusted airport manager and operator - the only US-based and US-owned airport operator and wholly-owned by WSIP III, an infrastructure investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Avports has historically managed and operated a portfolio of airport O&M and P3/PPP contracts at more than 30 US airports. These airports have been diverse in their operations and have included commercial and general aviation airports, passenger terminals, military bases / joint-use airports, heliports, NASA facilities / spaceports. The company is ready to operate vertiports for electrical vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) / aerial urban taxis and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and integrate electric aviation, hydrogen fuel-cells and zero-emission decarbonization concepts in the existing airport environment, leveraging distributed aviation and Regional Air Mobility (RAM) concepts. Today, the company operates with 650+ staff at eleven US airports across five US states, including as the leaseholder and operator of the $100mm public-private partnership (P3) investment at Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) in Connecticut and in the development of Airglades International Airport in Florida.
