Aviation consulting for airport planning, facilities, and financial analysis
Ricondo is a 51–200-person aviation consulting firm founded in 1989, operating across 12 U.S. offices plus London. The tech stack — CAD, GIS, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, 3ds Max — reflects a design-and-simulation-heavy practice focused on physical airport infrastructure and master planning. Current hiring favors senior consultants and engineers (9 senior roles across consulting and engineering), signaling capacity expansion on high-complexity, deadline-driven projects rather than junior talent development.
Ricondo provides full-service consulting to airport operators, airlines, and federal/state aviation agencies. Service areas span airport master planning, facilities and operations planning, environmental compliance, financial analysis, feasibility studies, and airfield/airspace analysis. The firm operates on both project and on-call retainer bases, accompanying clients from preliminary planning through design, permitting, financing, and construction. The company reports nearly 90 percent repeat-client revenue, typical of specialized infrastructure consulting. Offices span major U.S. aviation hubs (Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Phoenix, Seattle, Miami, Orlando) plus Washington D.C. and an international presence in London.
Ricondo uses CAD, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, 3ds Max, GIS, and CAST for design, simulation, and spatial analysis. These tools support airport master planning, terminal schematic design, and facilities modeling.
Ricondo is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with 12 U.S. regional offices (Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Honolulu, Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, Seattle, southern California, Washington D.C.) and one international office in London.
