Airport Capital Projects Are Complex. Managing Them Shouldn’t Be.
Too often, airport teams are forced to juggle spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and manual forms when managing multi-year capital programs. The result?
- Disjointed workflows between finance, planning, and engineering
- Delays in FAA AIP drawdowns and closeout reports
- Untracked change orders and duplicate vendor entries
- DBE compliance tracking buried in email threads
- Limited real-time visibility across projects and funding sources
Many airports are managing billions in improvements—on legacy tools that weren’t built for aviation compliance or scale.
AirportIQ Project Manager:
Built for Airport Infrastructure Demands
AirportIQ Project Manager centralizes the entire capital project lifecycle—from funding and planning through compliance and closeout—into one cloud-based system designed specifically for the needs of airport agencies. AirportIQ Project Manager integrates budgeting, grant management, contract workflows, and reporting into a unified tool to eliminate silos and reduce risk.
“AirportIQ Project Manager was designed to increase the effectiveness of an airport’s project management processes and decrease the repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with capital improvement programs.”
