About Us
We provide advice to the financial community as well as to airports. Our commercial strategy is based upon the assumption that a happy passenger makes a much more likely consumer.
Our clients include airports, investors, regional government, national CAA and other economic development bodies. They appreciate and value the high standards of our services: excellent experience of the team, established methodologies, deep understanding of the airport industry issues, data and superb contacts.
Our team have worked with major airport groups including AENA, Paris Airports, YVRAS and BAA. Our consultancy offices are based in the UK and Sweden.
Our team is drawn from the media, airport and the consulting community. One of our founders, Mr. Ian Lowden, was previously the MD of RDG Solutions and the editor of the Airport Commercial Revenue Study 2008-2009.

Commercial Due Diligence
ACD has a detailed understanding of the needs of investors and the challenges of travel retail. We understand the investors needs to thoroughly understand the current and projected commercial performance.
Our team have undertaken commercial due diligence projects on several high-end investment opportunities such as London Gatwick and Peel Airports.
We can provide advice on the advantages as well as the potential risks. We will identify current gaps in the operation and point to the solutions. Our ability to also analyse the "softer" areas of a business, such as key customer, concessionaires and corporate culture, will be a powerful tool for developing deeper understanding of the commercial aspects of the target airport.
We can provide the following services:
- Consumer Segmentation
- Validation of Business Plan
- Financial Modelling
- Management Review
- Market Potential
