JLL announced today that Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer, selected JLL to provide facilities management (FM) services across a 4.3-million-square-foot U.S. real estate portfolio that includes both headquarters and manufacturing facilities.

As part of the contract, JLL’s specialized Aviation group will continue to execute FM services for a 1.2-million-square-foot, 17-building portfolio that includes Airbus’ corporate headquarters in Herndon, Vir., in addition to expanding services to include a 30-building manufacturing campus that totals 3.1 million square feet in Mobile, Ala.

The JLL team leading account facilities management services includes JLL’s Aviation group leader and Managing Director Koley MacKay and JLL Account Director Winnie Buchanan, along with Work Dynamics Principal Michael Colligan with Solutions Development providing support. JLL and Airbus have a long and successful history of working together, including Leasing Advisory work led by Vice Chairman Jeff Grohl and Senior Managing Director Michael Blyumin.

“JLL is committed to transforming aviation standards through improved operational efficiency and comprehensive facilities management services that adapt to Airbus’ evolving needs,” MacKay said. “We’re honored that Airbus has chosen to continue our partnership and has more than doubled the square footage under our management, which is a significant expansion of their trust in our services.”

“Facilities management is mission-critical in aerospace and aviation, where operational continuity, safety and precision are non-negotiable,” added Meaghan Elwell, Division President – Global Industrials at JLL. “Our ability to maintain complex manufacturing environments and support advanced aerospace operations enables our clients to focus on innovation and excellence in their core business.”
