Airport Competence

Building on the legacy of Airport Consulting Vienna (ACV) and Airport Design Management (ADM), Airport Competence brings together more than 30 years of specialized aviation expertise under one strong brand. Our long-standing 360° approach allows us to support clients across all key areas of airport business and technical development — including market assessment, traffic forecasting, strategy, master planning, terminal and facilities design, and business planning — now delivered even more efficiently and seamlessly. AIRPORT COMPETENCE is your competent partner when it comes to the privatization and development of airports. With a track record of more than 500 consulting projects and about 120 airport transactions (privatizations, M & As), Airport Competence is the ideal partner for both airport operators and investors (e.g. funds, banks, construction companies, etc.) who are keen on developing their airport and/or selling or purchasing airport assets. The one-stop shop philosophy offers clients and key decision makers many advantages: a single point of contact for complex airport evaluations and due diligence studies not only saves costs and time but increases efficiency. These are most crucial aspects during bids. Since early 2025, Airport Competence has become part of the ARX Group, Switzerland’s leading engineering and design company with more than 1,800 experts worldwide. As ARX’s Center of Excellence for aviation, we now offer full-spectrum, end-to-end solutions covering the entire airport lifecycle — from strategy, market and feasibility studies to master planning, detailed design, systems integration, and implementation supervision. This integration combines deep aviation expertise with world-class engineering capabilities to deliver robust, efficient, and future-ready airport solutions globally.
