Arup has signed a four year framework agreement with Aena, to support the airport operator with any upcoming strategic planning studies. Arup is the sole provider present in four of five lots in a contract with a potential combined value of up to €15 million.
Among the 20 international consortia involved in Aena's recent public tender, Arup was the only finalist in all four lots and the only built environment design consultant specialised on the different types of projects, including airport planning as well as urban and transport planning. For the first two lots, which cover airport and capacity planning, the firm has set up a joint venture with Navya Solutions, Spanish airspace consultant.
