Airport Operations
Finish work that fits around flight schedules and secure access.
Airports never really close, and every area of one has a different owner, schedule and security level. McAllister plans airport work around flight banks, badging and escorts, and brings the lift work, floor coatings and protective coatings that hangars and support buildings need.
- Badging and escorted access built into the schedule
- Overnight and phased work in public areas
- Lift work for hangars and tall structures
- Protective coatings for steel and slabs
Facilities
Airport Operations facilities we work in.
Each facility type has its own page with the surfaces, schedule and services that apply.
Airports
Airports combine public concourses, back-of-house operations and airside structures that each carry their own finish, safety and security requirements.
Airport Terminals
Terminals are high-traffic public buildings where the finish has to look sharp, clean easily and go on without closing the concourse.
Plane Hangars
Hangars are large steel buildings with tall walls, exposed structure and slabs that have to take aircraft, tugs, fuel and hydraulic fluid.
How we approach it
Planned around the operation, not the other way round.
Airport projects start with the access plan: which areas are secure, who escorts the crew, what hours are available and how materials get in. Once that is settled the work runs like any other McAllister project, with preparation matched to the substrate and products submitted for approval.
Hangars and support buildings are mostly steel, metal panel and concrete, which is protective coating work: preparation that gets the surface ready to hold a coating, then systems selected for fuel, chemicals and weather.
Services
Most often scoped for airport operations.
Commercial & Industrial Painting
Interior and exterior painting for warehouses, plants, schools, retail and offices, scheduled around your operation and delivered to the specification, as a subcontractor or direct.
Commercial Coatings
Protective coating systems for structural steel, metal panels, masonry, concrete, tanks and overhead structure, selected for the exposure and applied over proper preparation.
- Featured service
Floor Coatings
Durable, cleanable floor coatings for warehouses, plants, schools and commercial spaces, with a limited lifetime warranty behind every floor.

Questions
Airport Operations questions.
Still have a question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Can you work while the airport operations facility stays open?
Usually, yes. Most projects are phased or scheduled after hours so the facility keeps operating. The sequence, access and containment are agreed before the crew arrives.
Do you work for general contractors or directly for owners?
Both. McAllister bids and carries the Division 9 finish scope for general contractors, and works directly for owners and facility managers on existing buildings.
Where do you take on this work?
McAllister is based in Slocomb, Alabama and works across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. Send the location and scope with your quote request and we will confirm whether it fits our schedule.
