Aviation at LEO A DALY

Landside and airside facilities that support passenger experience and airport operations.

Our aviation team designs and delivers projects with functional and aesthetic excellence, optimized to improve airport operations. Terminal, tower, runway, parking structure or master plan: we view every touch point as an opportunity to improve passenger experience and safety. Infrastructure upgrades, a focus on passenger experience and safety, as well as sustainable operations and development create many opportunities for design creativity and problem solving. Our aviation experts understand airport operations, and bring 70 years of industry leadership.

Operational Fluency
We design aviation environments with a deep understanding of how airports and airlines operate, day to day, peak to peak, and under pressure. With over 70 years of aviation experience, our work on terminals has reached two-thirds of major U.S. airports, impacting over 447 airports nationwide.

Integrated Architecture & Engineering
Our architecture and engineering teams collaborate from the start, ensuring design intent aligns with constructability, systems performance, and long-term operations.

Mission Critical, Performance-First Mindset
We specialize in aviation environments where failure is not an option. Every detail from passenger flow to air traffic control systems is designed to perform under pressure. Our 300+ ATCT and TRACON projects, along with decades of collaboration with the FAA, showcase our ability to deliver complex, mission-critical aviation systems reliably.

Measured Ambition
We balance bold, inspired design with practical solutions that work today and adapt tomorrow. From leading the first LEED-certified airport terminal at LAX to developing best practices for sustainable airports in China, and implementing explosives detection systems and security screening standards, our projects combine design excellence, operational reliability, and forward-looking innovation.
