2025 Airport Business Projects of the Year

The Airport Business Projects of the Year celebrate the transformative airport developments reshaping our industry—and the visionary designers, planners, and engineers turning bold ideas into reality.
In a time when aviation often finds itself defined by challenges, these projects serve as a powerful reminder of what’s possible. They show how collaboration, innovation, and dedication can come together to drive meaningful change in communities across the country.
In our sixth installment of the Projects of the Year, we saw the largest number of nominations to-date and the largest number of winners.
Congratulations to all of this year's winners and keep an eye out for the 2026 program, which will start accepting nominations later this year.
