Can an airport retrofit without shutting down operations?

Yes. Phased construction in the economy lots, off-peak work in close-in garages, and modular deployment of AV zones all minimize operational disruption. Wins Parking sequences airport projects to keep stall counts inside operational tolerance throughout the buildout.

How does airport charging integrate with regional charging networks?

Through roaming and interoperability standards we design into every installation, plus direct integration with the major networks (ChargePoint, EVgo, Electrify America, Tesla, Rivian, Ionna). A passenger or fleet vehicle authenticated on a national network plugs in seamlessly.

Who pays for AV infrastructure — the airport or the AV operator?

Varies by market. We structure deal frameworks that work for both — airport-funded with operator lease, operator-funded with airport license, or shared-investment models — and fit the airport's non-aeronautical revenue model.

How long is the full retrofit horizon?

10-20 years for most major airports. The infrastructure decisions made in the next 3-5 years determine whether the airport leads or lags in the mature mode mix. Phase zero (LPR + integrated payment) can be live inside 90 days.

Does this affect TSA perimeter security?

Yes, and we structure every design to meet or exceed current TSA requirements while anticipating regulatory direction. AV pickup zones, charging arrays, and staging yards all integrate with the airport's existing perimeter and access-control framework.

The Future of Airport Parking: Autonomous and Electric

How DFW, ATL, LAX, PHX, DEN, AUS, MIA, SFO, SEA design parking and ground transportation for the autonomous, electric, on-demand era.

Airports Re-Architected for the Autonomous, Electric Era

DFW, ATL, LAX, PHX, DEN, AUS, MIA, SFO, and SEA are re-architecting curbside, garages, cell-phone lots, and rental car centers for AVs, EVs, and on-demand mobility. Wins designs the staging zones, the high-throughput EV charging, and the ground-transportation operations model.

Concessions, Revenue, and Operations

Airport parking is one of the largest non-aeronautical revenue lines, and the autonomous-electric era will redistribute it across new asset classes. Wins helps airports protect and grow that revenue while modernizing the curb.
