We provide strategic advice to aviation management on financial, planning, or economic issues, undertake evaluations (ex-ante, mid-term, ex-post), and impact assessments of aviation policies to support regulator decision-making. We develop long-term air traffic forecasts to assist senior airport executives or financial institutions with transactions at existing and new airports worldwide.

With a strong pipeline of high-profile projects, we are expanding our team to support various exciting workstreams, helping our clients achieve successful and sustainable aviation services globally.
