The symposium will take place March 4 – 6, 2026, bringing together leaders committed to advancing airport planning, design and construction.
What is the AAAE/ACC Airport Planning, Design and Construction Symposium?
The AAAE/ACC Airport Planning, Design and Construction Symposium brings together airport owners, operators and project delivery teams to share best practices and explore solutions that support safe, efficient and resilient airport infrastructure. Attendees gain insight into the latest industry developments through networking opportunities, keynote presentations and technical workshops. In addition, more than 100 exhibitors will be on site to showcase new technologies, innovative solutions and evolving processes that are shaping the future of the aviation industry.
Supporting the Future of Aviation Construction
As airports respond to increased passenger demand and growing operational complexity, Hensel Phelps continues to support aviation clients. With more than 56 million square feet delivered across 390 aviation projects, we bring proven experience, precision and coordination to every phase of airport development. To date, Hensel Phelps has performed work at more than 40 regional and international airports, helping owners modernize facilities and meet the evolving needs of travelers and communities.
That commitment to excellence is reflected in award-winning work like the San Francisco International Airport Harvey Milk Terminal. In December 2025, the terminal received the Prix Versailles award for World’s Most Beautiful Airport, a global honor recognizing projects that elevate design, sustainability and the human experience. Hensel Phelps is proud to have supported this decade-long effort alongside our design and trade partners, helping deliver a terminal that blends innovation, cultural respect and modern functionality while setting a new standard for airport construction.
Integrated Delivery and Trusted Collaboration
Hensel Phelps supports aviation projects through early engagement, transparent collaboration and disciplined execution. Using design-build and other integrated delivery approaches, project teams align planning, constructability and operational needs from the outset to help manage risk, control costs and deliver long-term value.
Through in-house reality capture and laser scanning, Hensel Phelps teams can capture millions of data points per second and translate them into highly accurate three-dimensional models of existing conditions, giving clients and partners the confidence to make informed decisions before construction begins. By uncovering potential clashes early and reducing field uncertainty, these tools streamline coordination, minimize operational disruption and elevate safety for travelers, crews and trade partners alike.
