Who We Are

Passionate about People, Place, and Performance, Vantage Airport Group is a leading investor, developer, and manager of airports and transportation infrastructure around the world. Since 1994, Vantage has made more than 30 airports more efficient, profitable, sustainable, and connected to the communities they serve. Its current network is composed of 13 active airport and rail station operations, in locations ranging from large capital cities and tourist destinations to smaller destinations in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe. 

Notable network locations include the award-winning new $5.1B LaGuardia Terminal B in New York, named the 2022 World’s Best New Airport Terminal by Skytrax, and major concessions programs at Chicago Midway International Airport, Kansas City International Airport’s new terminal, and Philadelphia’s historic William H. Gray III 30th Street Station. Together, Vantage airports served 53 million passengers in 2022, traveling on 160 different airlines to 265 global destinations. Vantage is a wholly owned strategic platform of Corsair Infrastructure Partners for capital deployment in the airport sector. 

Vantage’s latest airport terminal project is the $4.2B development of a new world class international Terminal 6 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), now underway. The Vantage-led team at JFK Millennium Partners is developing Terminal 6 in two phases, with the first gates opening in 2026 and construction completion in 2028. This new, 1.2 million square foot international terminal on the north side of JFK will feel like a boutique luxury hotel, featuring bright and airy check-in and arrivals areas, NYC-inspired shopping, dining and amenities, premium lounges, and generous seating areas. The redevelopment will transform the guest experience at Terminal 6 while offering numerous opportunities for minority, women-owned (MWBE), service-disabled, veteran-owned (SDVOB) and local business enterprises (LBEs).
