2026 marks Paslay Group’s 20th year in business, a major milestone in our firm’s history. You’ll notice a new, 20th-anniversary mark accompanying our communications this year. With that said, I want to share how much we have appreciated your support, interest, and confidence in our aviation consulting firm over the years.
It’s hard to believe that two decades have passed since I wrapped up my career at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and started this firm with my former DFW colleague, Santa Villarreal. In these short two decades, Paslay Group has worked with our airport colleagues as partners on over 50 engagements, from Alaska and California to New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We have been involved in managing more than $50 billion in capital development.
The foundation of our firm has been the creation of the Executive Program Management® model and our confidence in its value to our clients. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office validated the model in 2025, awarding Paslay Group a registered trademark. It has been even more rewarding to see leaders of some of the nation’s best airports embrace the model over the years and begin procuring EPM services for their capital programs.
As Paslay Group has grown, we have intentionally added top talent and specialized expertise to our ranks, enabling us to provide additional enterprise-level services to our clients. Today, we have a full suite of business advisory experts helping airport leaders organize their teams for success, maximize non-aeronautical revenue, and enhance airport amenities toward a better customer experience.
As we look toward our next 20 years, we find ourselves at an exciting inflection point. The success of our business has opened opportunities to broaden Paslay Group’s impact through new service offerings and lines of business, strengthening our role as a trusted, strategic partner.
So, stay tuned! We have significant plans for the future that will reinforce our commitment to excellence while expanding the impact of the Paslay Group brand.
In the meantime, I’d like to personally express my sincere gratitude for your support, friendship, and leadership in this dynamic and exciting aviation industry.
Sincerely,
R. Clay Paslay
President & CEO
