Tyler Curry
Project Manager, Burns & McDonnell
Tyler Curry serves as a project manager and sustainable
aviation fuels (SAF) manager for Burns & McDonnell's
commercial aviation fueling team. Since joining the
company as a civil engineer, Curry has progressed to
leading a diverse array of large-scale fueling projects
across the nation, including the $300 million fuel storage
and distribution program at San Diego International
Airport (SAN). His technical expertise and strategic oversight
have driven the program's success, incorporating
innovative solutions such as phased terminal hydrant
systems, advanced refueler loading facilities, and sustainable
installation techniques. This comprehensive
approach has modernized SAN's fuel infrastructure,
positioning the airport to meet future demand and
sustain long-term operations.
" We have great clients with airline fuel supply and management
teams throughout the country. Seeing their
projects and long-term plans come to fruition excites me, "
he said. " Also, knowing that what we do matters. Often
overlooked, and rarely considered, is how and what goes
into providing quality fuel at airports and making sure
it gets to the aircraft. These fuel systems are a critical
part of the intricacies of airport operations which allow
for people to depart on time and arrive home safely. "
Beyond San Diego, Curry manages fuel improvement
projects at Austin-Bergstrom and Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airports, furthering his impact across
critical U.S. airports. Known for his collaborative style,
Curry engages with airport authorities, airlines, permitting
agencies, and contractors to ensure seamless
project execution. His extensive experience in fueling
infrastructure, from truck loading and hydrant systems
to tank repairs and facility assessments, showcases
his ability to lead complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
Curry's commitment to the industry extends to championing
SAF, as evidenced by his recent presentation at
the AAAE South Central Chapter conference, where he
addressed industry myths and infrastructure needs for
SAF adoption. As a mentor, he supports new assistant
project managers, sharing best practices.
