Leadin – Your Airport Intelligence

ABOUT US

Breathing Airports

When professionalism and knowledge are seasoned with passion on every project you are involved in, it becomes a multiplying factor for achieving extraordinary results.

Leadin Aviation team careers have been always tied to Aviation, but further than that, we are passionate for it.

Our team accounts with a deep aviation background, back from university and post-graduate education and of course, from an extensive professional career linked to major worldwide leading aviation firms.

We have developed our experience in different airport-related key areas as consulting, airport planning, engineering and construction.

Furthermore, our team members have been part of some of the world’s largest airports operators’ teams (as Fraport or AENA), and therefore we understand the Client’s view on the airport business challenges.

Completing such experience on the airport operators’ side, we have also worked with major airlines on the side of the ‘infrastructure user’, providing us with a ‘360º understanding’ of the aviation business.

Leadin origins

Based on this strong background, Leadin was born back in 2016, when, with the aim of providing sustained support to one of our core Clients, one of our founding partners decides to establish Leadin.

The trust of this Client throughout the time, reinforces the idea of starting to grow Leadin’s capabilities to provide a wider range of services. This idea becomes a reality when our second partner joins the project.

Leadin Aviation then establishes a permanent office in Madrid and starts to build a larger team of experts behind.

This strategy has facilitated the strengthening of the relations with our main clients, whilst expanding our portfolio of clients and partners in different corners of the globe.

Leadin Aviation has executed projects in 5 Continents

OUR SERVICES

Your success is our success

Our differential value states in providing trustful and innovative solutions to our Clients by working shoulder-to-shoulder with them towards the objective.

We believe that valuable results are only possible listening to our Clients and experiencing their needs.

We understand that each project is special, and we put all our resources to create a unique methodology to achieve the targets.

We look forward for a long-term collaboration.

Our approach

We are prepared to work on both sides of the table.

On the one hand, we can offer our services integrated as part of the Client’s team. Sometimes, by completing specific specialized roles which our Client might require to take care of within a project, or in other cases by building up the project’s team from scratch for the Client and leading such team until it is fully ready and operational. We are also used to act supervising third parties work on the Client’s behalf providing him with an independent view to support its decisions.

And on the other hand, we also render our work as service providers for a close product requested by our Client.

We feel comfortable with both approaches. Our team is ready to instantly react to our Client’s call.
