BWI Experience Partners

BWI Experience Partners seeks to contribute to BWI’s role as one of the most prominent transportation hubs on the East Coast by creating a transformed concession program that offers local ownership, backed by global expertise, delivered by best-in-class operators. With BWI Experience Partners, we offer the winning combination of Vantage Airport Group’s deep international expertise and strong knowledge of the U.S. market coupled with significant local ownership and leadership from some of the region’s most prominent civic leaders and entrepreneurial, minority-owned strategic investment partners.

We offer a distinctive approach and development, representing a much-needed evolution in the concessions developer business model. While the idea of local investors is not anything new, BWI Experience Partners has turned the model around to give local investors a much larger share of ownership with a dedicated developer and seasoned airport operator with Vantage’s deep international expertise and strong knowledge of the U.S. market.

Leveraging Vantage’s approach and business strategy with nearly 30 years of experience at more than 30 airports worldwide — including three high-profile U.S. airport concession programs at LaGuardia Terminal B, Chicago Midway International Airport, the new terminal for the Kansas City International Airport, and the historic William H. Gray III 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.
