Steven Derengowski CM, IACE

Steven brings over 12 years of combined experience in airport operations and facility planning, with a significant portion of his career dedicated to advancing the integration of AAM. He has worked with airports across North America to explore how AAM can seamlessly be integrated into the existing aviation ecosystem, while helping key stakeholders recognize the value it brings not only to airports but also to the broader community. His experience includes working with both airports and OEMs to evaluate infrastructure and airspace requirements to support efficient AAM operations, ranging from airport-to-airport connectivity to non-airport destinations. More recently, Steven has led projects assessing the market potential of AAM, specifically for eVTOL applications, analyzing how this technology could complement the existing transportation landscape from both a cost and time perspective. Finally, Steven has authored a white paper highlighting the key considerations that airports must evaluate when determining how and where AAM can be successfully introduced.
