Airfield Escorts are responsible for safely and efficiently navigating construction equipment, vehicles, personnel, and materials across a specified haul route on an Airfield. Shutting down a runway or taxiway for construction work can affect the flow of national air traffic, so working around a specific schedule is imperative to success concerning Airport construction work. JDT achieves this by maintaining some of the highest standards in the industry to meet project deadlines while eliminating safety-related incidents.


JDT provided flagging and escorting services when Dallas Fort Worth International Airport updated the high gates in its Terminal C using a new prefabricated construction method, a first in the world for an airport. It allowed DFW Airport to construct the new terminal space at the same time it was demolishing the existing location, causing less of a disruption to customers and resulting in saved time and money.
