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 West Street Infrastructure Partners 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, and 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 and is also involved in public-private partnership (P3) investments and long-term leases at Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) in Connecticut and Airglades International Airport in Florida. The company’s presence extends to 25 additional US airports through its affiliate Aviation Facilities Company (AFCO).
