Aviation is a key driver of global connectivity and economic growth, playing a vital role in connecting communities, creating employment and providing access to opportunities for wealth generation, education and cultural enrichment.
Sustainable airports form part of a well connected transport network, integrated with their local environment and communities, and beneficial to society and the economy more widely.
They engage with and create positive opportunities for local people, play their part in achieving decarbonisation targets, and maintain reliability and resilience. And they do all this while improving customer experience and delivering returns to public and private investors.
Prepare for a low carbon future
We’ll help you reduce operational emissions across the airport system, working with you to develop an energy strategy that will improve system-wide efficiency and transition to low or zero carbon energy sources. We’ll also support you in reducing embodied carbon by decarbonising the construction of new assets and extending the life of existing ones.
Deliver community benefits
We’ll plan and design infrastructure and operational improvements that support local communities – addressing noise levels and air quality, traffic congestion and transport connectivity, as well as environmental quality, public space, employment opportunities and more. We’ll help you engage with both local and wider communities to deliver social, environmental and economic value. As a business that puts social purpose at the heart of everything we do, we are aligned with your own aspirations for sustainable growth.
Improve return on investment
We’ll help you improve operational effectiveness and manage assets to their full potential, while improving the experience for end users and providing a better working environment for employees.
Engage with new technologies
We’ll ensure you adapt smoothly to emerging technologies, from digital transformation of airport operations and asset management to the adoption of advanced air mobility and zero emissions aircraft.
Anticipate climate change
We’ll help you adjust to the physical effects of climate change, by assessing the probability and severity of weather events and their potential impacts on your assets and operations – and developing appropriate responses.
Manage project risks
We’ll deploy our global experience in establishing the brief, developing the design and managing the delivery of complex capital and change programmes.
We provide an end-to-end aviation consultancy service, encompassing strategic planning, design, programme management and operational improvement. We integrate our extensive in-house capabilities with those of international and local partners where appropriate, to suit your organisational and programme priorities.
Our teams have worked with governments, investors, operators and airlines on projects at more than 250 airports worldwide, from small regional airfields to global hubs such as Singapore Changi, Hong Kong, Istanbul, London Heathrow and New York JFK.

Identify, calculate, and reduce embodied and operational carbon emissions. This infrastructure carbon calculator is aligned to PAS 2080, the international specification for managing carbon across the built environment (co-authored by Mott MacDonald). It allows anyone across your business and supply chain to identify and calculate carbon emissions, not just carbon experts.
