75 Years of Shaping the Future of Aviation

Since 1949, NACO has been a proud leader in airport consultancy and engineering. Founded with the mission of restoring global airport infrastructure after the Second World War, we’ve grown into a globally recognised firm dedicated to a future-ready aviation industry.

For 75 years, innovation has been at the core of everything we do. From pioneering the one-terminal concept at Schiphol Airport in the 1960s to Luxemburg Airport’s runway refurbishment design guaranteeing operational continuity, to defining a new global standardized framework for ESG reporting, we’ve consistently pushed boundaries in airport design and engineering.

At the forefront of our vision, we are focused on creating future-ready airports that are sustainable, inclusive and resilient. We enable our clients to adapt seamlessly to changing demand, we ensure compliance to new safety standards, we bring attention to sustainability, and deliver airport design that meets evolving customer expectations. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we reflect on our success over the years, which wouldn’t have been possible without collaboration with our clients and partners from across the aviation ecosystem. The NACO team’s international expertise, and that of the wider Royal HaskoningDHV family, combined with deep local understanding has enabled us to deliver exceptional solutions and help businesses to thrive and communities to flourish. We’re committed to shaping the future of sustainable, efficient, and passenger-centric airports for the next 75 years and beyond.

Esther Kromhout, Director, NACO, said:
Our holistic approach and global perspective allow us to work with clients to define the role of airports within the wider context of aviation and thus shape its future.

Over our 75 years we’ve worked with clients around the world. We have helped their airports rise to every challenge, embrace innovation and meet evolving demands.
