ACCIONA has extensive international experience in the design and construction of airport solutions, having participated in more than 40 airport projects around the world — from the iconic Terminal T4 at Madrid's Adolfo Suárez–Barajas Airport to the new terminal at Rome's Fiumicino Airport. In Australia, that global expertise is being applied to one of the country's most significant pieces of infrastructure in over 50 years: Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.
ACCIONA entered the Australian market in 2002 and has since become one of the country's most trusted construction partners, delivering large and technically complex projects with a strong focus on innovation, safety and sustainability. Airports are now a core part of that story.
ACCIONA, with its Airport Services activity, is one of the main independent handling operators in Germany, Spain and Chile. The company provides handling services such as operations, ramp and freight, passenger service, ticket sales and de-icing services, among others. Currently, it operates as an independent operator in 21 airports with a volume of 130,000 annual stopovers served.
Building an airport means mastering some of the most demanding work in civil engineering: precision earthworks at enormous scale, aviation-grade pavements built to exacting tolerances, and the safety and navigation systems that keep aircraft moving, day and night.
In Australia, ACCIONA's airport capability spans:
- Major earthworks and site preparation, at a scale rarely seen in the region
- Runway and airside pavement construction, including specialist paving techniques developed for Australian conditions
- Airfield lighting, power and navigation systems, integrated to keep operations safe in all conditions
- Sustainable delivery, reducing waste, emissions and environmental impact across the life of the project
