STV is providing construction management services for the major expansion of Tweed New Haven Airport, a $250 million capital development led by airport operator AVports to modernize and expand the regional airport’s facilities. The project will deliver a new state-of-the-art terminal, extend the runway and support expanded parking and access, enabling the airport to better serve growing passenger demand and strengthen Southern Connecticut’s connectivity.
What challenges does STV address?
STV’s team is helping navigate a complex program that combines airport modernization, infrastructure construction and ongoing operations. The expansion must account for active runway safety, phased construction sequencing, coordination with regulatory agencies and integration of new facilities with existing airport infrastructure. Balancing community impact, environmental permitting and logistical demands – including runway extension and new access roadwork within a dense urban context – adds to the technical and program delivery challenges.
What solutions is STV providing?
As construction manager, STV is leading oversight of program planning, contractor coordination, schedule and budget controls, risk management, and quality assurance. The firm supports alignment among design, permitting and construction activities across the terminal expansion, runway extension, parking facilities and associated infrastructure.
How will this project improve aviation and the region?
Once complete, the expansion will transform Tweed New Haven Airport into a more efficient, modern gateway for Southern Connecticut, improving passenger experience, supporting new air service and expanding access for both commercial and private flights. The upgraded facilities will better accommodate rising travel demand, boost economic growth, and help drive tourism and business connectivity in the region.
