Who we are

Australia’s Aerodrome Management Specialists

Aerodrome Management Services (AMS) was founded in 1996 by Kevin Thomas as a small, family-run business.

Today, it remains proudly family-owned, delivering specialised aerodrome services across Australia, now branching into New Zealand and the Pacific region. AMS offers end-to-end solutions – from initial concept design to the full operation of secure, compliant aerodromes.

Over nearly 30 years, AMS has evolved into a trusted, safety-focused organisation known for its strong customer service and values-driven approach.

Our in-house team of experts deliver high-quality products and services, driven by a passion for innovation. Our team has pioneered advancements in solar technology, robotics, and safety management systems, positioning AMS at the forefront of aviation progress. We’re especially proud to bring these innovations to regional and remote communities, supporting safe, efficient, and reliable aviation in underserved areas.

AMS is exclusively dedicated to aviation and aerodrome operations. This focus allows our people to provide comprehensive support across all of aerodrome management. We know the complexities of a busy airport and apply our deep industry expertise to ensure seamless experiences for airport users.

We employ over 160 people to support more than 100 airports across Australia, covering operations, compliance, engineering, and design. AMS actively contributes to industry development and have played a role in CASA’s Part 139 MOS Review, regularly attend RSAF aviation security meetings, and support the RFDS with aerodrome advice.

With a rich legacy in Australia’s aviation sector, AMS is recognised as a leading aerodrome solutions provider.
