One of the world's largest public airport systems, HAS owns and operates three airports located in the fifth largest U.S. metropolitan area. It currently handles over 50 million passengers a year and provides nonstop passenger service to approximately 100 domestic and 64 international destinations.

"ICF has helped some of the world's largest hub airports develop and implement effective air service strategic plans," said Jared Harckham, vice president for ICF. "We understand the numerous challenges and opportunities HAS faces in today's competitive marketplace. A committed partner, ICF has the holistic aviation experience to help HAS develop a clear plan for expanding its domestic and international air service that will continue its already impressive growth trajectory."

Under the agreement, which was awarded in the fourth quarter of 2017, ICF will provide research, forecasts and market analyses, and create compelling business cases to be used to actively pursue new service to HAS airports. The firm will also provide analyses of the legal, regulatory and policy landscape, and develop economic impact studies to measure the economic benefit of new service to the Houston region.

The firm's aviation professionals, many of whom are former airport planners and airline executives, know how to bridge the gap between the two worlds to help clients strategically envision the future and optimize business opportunities.
