Avports

Avports is America’s most experienced and trusted airport manager and operator, boasting a rich history dating back to its founding in 1927 as a division of Pan American World Airways. As the only US-based and US-owned airport operator, Avports is wholly owned by WSIP III, an infrastructure investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

With a portfolio spanning more than 30 US airports, Avports has managed and operated diverse airport O&M and P3/PPP contracts, including commercial and general aviation airports, passenger terminals, military bases/joint-use airports, heliports, and NASA facilities/spaceports. Positioning itself at the forefront of innovation, the company is prepared to operate vertiports for eVTOLs/aerial urban taxis and UAVs, and to integrate electric aviation, hydrogen fuel-cells, and zero-emission decarbonization concepts in the existing airport environment, leveraging distributed aviation and Regional Air Mobility (RAM) concepts.

Currently, Avports employs over 650 staff at eleven US airports across five states. It also holds the lease and operates the $100 million public-private partnership (P3) investment at Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) in Connecticut, while also contributing to the development of Airglades International Airport in Florida. With its extensive experience, industry leadership, and ambitious vision for the future of aviation, Avports presents a compelling investment opportunity for venture capitalists.
