Why it mattered

Airports do not close. Every phase must keep passengers moving, airlines flying and security working, while new capacity rises beside them.

The challenge

A major hub airport is adding a new concourse and gates to meet record passenger growth.

Airfield work, baggage systems and airline commitments have to be phased around a relentless operation and across several separate contracts. Leadership needed one view of schedule, cost and risk, not a stack of contractor reports.
