Airline Facilities and Terminal Operations

Aria Studio Consultants brings decades of multi-airport experience, deep technical expertise, and a proven ability to work within highly restrictive operational environments. Aria delivers highly coordinated architectural and engineering services for airline facilities operating within complex, 24/7 environments. Our work supports the full operational spectrum of airline needs, including ticketing halls, holdrooms, gate counters, ATO and BSO spaces, administrative zones, break rooms, locker rooms, employee amenities, baggage handling systems, and security-adjacent improvements. Each project is designed and executed with rigorous attention to airport authority standards, TSA and CBP requirements, NFPA life-safety codes, ADA compliance, mechanical and electrical loading demands, and the jurisdictional permitting processes across multiple U.S. airports.

High-Performance Airline Facility Solutions

Airline and terminal environments require precision, speed, and an understanding of both passenger and employee operations. Designs must work seamlessly within high-traffic, regulated, and security-sensitive spaces while maintaining continuous operation during construction. Aria’s experience includes the reallocation and optimization of ticketing counters, gate facilities, operations support spaces, break rooms, and technical systems that interface directly with airport infrastructure. Our team is deeply familiar with the operational realities of airline clients and the technical complexity of adapting existing terminal spaces to new requirements.

Our Expertise & Approach

Aria provides comprehensive coordination across architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and IT disciplines within fully active airport environments. Our approach emphasizes minimal disruption to airline operations, relying on thorough phasing strategies and detailed logistical planning. We work within the tight security constraints of airside environments, coordinating access control, card-reader systems, baggage screening equipment, paging and IT systems, and mechanical and electrical connections that must be upgraded or modified without interfering with ongoing operations. Our Revit and CAD-driven documentation and BIM coordination workflows enable us to identify conflicts early, expedite construction schedules, and maintain accuracy throughout the design and construction process.

Service Capabilities

Aria supports airline clients with the full lifecycle of planning, design, and construction support. Our services include tenant improvements, terminal restacking and consolidation, ticketing, boarding, and gate-counter design, baggage handling and CTX relocation, mechanical, electrical, and structural upgrades, ATO and BSO programming and improvements, employee amenity design, TSA checkpoint interface planning, and multi-facility integration programs. We deliver comprehensive construction documentation, permitting support, and construction administration, ensuring compliance with each airport’s standards and operational protocols. 

AIRPORT FACILITY ASSESSMENT SERVICES

Aria Studio Consultants provides detailed facility assessments that give airlines a clear and accurate understanding of their operational footprint. We validate space usage, confirm square footage, and ensure that occupied areas align with lease requirements and operational needs. Our Area Assignment Books consolidate this data into a precise, long-term record of all occupied spaces, complete with room identification and functional groupings, supporting confident planning, compliance, and cost-management decisions.
