Jacobs to Support Capital Improvements at Caribbean's Busiest Aviation Hub

Improvements will modernize infrastructure and boost resiliency at Puerto Rican airport

DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was chosen by the airport's operator, Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC, to participate in a selected group, to provide  architecture and engineering consulting services in support of capital improvements at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The capital improvement program addresses  infrastructure improvements, increasing passenger and aircraft traffic demand, and mitigates future climate change impacts.

At SJU, Jacobs will provide consulting services across airfield, landside, infrastructure and facilities development efforts at the airport – which currently accounts for more than 90 percent of the island's total passenger volume and serves as a hub for the wider Caribbean. 

"At Jacobs, we look toward the future," said Jacobs Senior Vice President Chrissy Thom. "With passenger growth up over 40% at San Juan's international airport in the last decade and a changing climate impacting the island, preparing for what's next is critical. We're shaping the future of safe, efficient air travel and improving resilience for the island's transportation network with smart, connected and secure systems."

Jacobs will support anticipated projects like taxiway reconstructions, runway improvements, airport sustainability efforts and a pavement management system. Grant management, planning, design and construction oversight for all projects is also part of the capital improvement program scope of work.
