Burrell Aviation has formalized a national design-build master service agreement with Lemartec, a MasTec Company. Together, the companies will work on developing regional municipal airport projects that will increase access to air cargo services and allow smaller airports to expand their economic potential and spur growth in their local communities.

MasTec companies have been involved in some of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects across the country. This partnership brings together experienced businesses that can focus on innovation and provide the best solutions needed for the businesses and communities served by these projects.

“We’re thrilled to be partnered with Burrell Aviation to help turn their vision of expanding aviation cargo capabilities across the country into a reality,” said Manny García-Tuñón, president of Lemartec, commented. “A program such as this is about economic empowerment because it targets smaller, strategic airports in communities that are critical to meeting the ever-expanding cargo and logistical needs of an ever-growing e-commerce platform.”

The agreement was signed at The Burrell Group corporate office in Aspen, Colorado.

“The U.S. airport system is in dire need of new investment and focused attention on non-passenger infrastructure,” said John Carver, Burrell Aviation CEO. “The partnership with Lemartec will allow us to accelerate delivery of next-generation facilities and satisfy the growing desire of airports of all sizes to generate new and meaningful jobs and to help drive the regional economies which they serve.”
