This week a group of us toured the redevelopment of JFK Terminals 6 and 7. The project is progressing well, and it was extremely impressive to see the collaboration in action between Investcorp Corsair Infrastructure Partners, Vantage Group and The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to deliver best-in-class airport infrastructure that will benefit millions of travelers. #JFKT6 #JFKT7
The JFK Airport Terminal 6 redevelopment project is well underway, and we were thrilled that our investors could take an exclusive tour of the site guided by JFK Millennium Partners. Investors got a firsthand look at the transformation. As the principal financial sponsor, we’re excited to work alongside our investment platform Vantage Group to revitalize this world-class international terminal, which will feature ten gates, state-of-the-art amenities, lounges, and spacious areas, that travelers will be able to enjoy starting in 2026. #JFKTerminal6 #JFKRedevelopment

Corsair’s Chief Operating Officer Amy Knapp recently recorded an episode of Capital Allocators’ Investment Management Operations podcast with Scott MacDonald. During their conversation, Amy shared insights about the importance of picking the right partners to scale with, and why fostering a collegial, collaborative culture is the foundation for innovative ideas. “A majority of our firm equity at Corsair is minority owned, which helps set the table from a culture perspective. We've got two women partners, myself included, and we have always enjoyed diversity of thought. We've got people on the team who have grown up in different countries in the world, and who are from different backgrounds and socioeconomic backgrounds. I think we are all curious about one another and that creates an intellectually curious culture. There's not a lot of groupthink. We definitely have a lot of healthy debate around here – respectful debate.” Listen to the full podcast here: https://lnkd.in/eVsynkB4 #privateequity #investmentoperations
