Our team of aviation planners specialize in bringing integrated project solutions to aviation clients throughout the United States.

With experience at more than 200 airports nationally, ESA’s services range from airport master planning, strategic planning, forecasting, project definition studies, airspace and operational analyses, in addition to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, 14 CFR Part 150 noise and land use compatibility studies, sustainability and resilience planning, wildlife hazard studies, regulatory permitting, and mitigation strategy and implementation.

ESA’s projects are some of the most complex and challenging in the aviation industry, and we provide clients with the necessary tools to meet federal, state, and local requirements along with creative strategies for maximizing airport revenue and reducing expenses.

We bring extensive experience solving technical and environmental issues and navigating the legal framework that influences airport development. We help clients focus on their core mission while capitalizing on near-term opportunities without jeopardizing their long-term vision.
