Overview:

WHO WE ARE

Vantage Airport Group is a privately owned, industry-leading investor, developer, and manager of airports and transportation infrastructure around the world. Our current network is composed of 12 active airport and rail station operations, in locations ranging from large capital cities and tourist destinations to smaller destinations in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe. These include the $5.1B redevelopment of LaGuardia’s Terminal B in New York, and major concessions redevelopment projects at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, and the new terminal at the Kansas City International Airport.


For more than 27 years, Vantage has been making airports more efficient, profitable, sustainable, and connected to the communities they serve. We have earned international recognition in areas such as design, finance, operations, and sustainability while delivering award-winning commercial programs and passenger experience. Millions of passengers travel through the Vantage network on an annual basis, and we are poised for continued growth. Passionate about People, Place and Performance, our success lies in the strength of our global talent, a team of some of the world’s most respected industry professionals.

We are excited to be part of another significant redevelopment project. As part of JFK Millennium Partners (“JMP”), the preferred partner of Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Vantage has been selected to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain Terminal 6 and 7 at John F. Kennedy (“JFK”) International Airport. For this project, Vantage has partnered with American Triple I (ATI), a 100% minority and woman owned investor and developer, and RXR Realty, a leading New York commercial real estate development firm, with AECOM Hunt as the design-build team. The project is to proceed in two phases of construction, with the first phase to include the development of the new Terminal 6 headhouse and departures area on a vacant site adjacent to the existing Terminal 7. Once that has been completed, JMP will demolish the existing Terminal 7 and construct an additional five gates, after which, JMP would then manage, operate and maintain the new facilities.
