Mukesh (Mookie) Patel | Airport Challenges After Construction & Solving Them

Mukesh (Mookie) Patel is an experienced aviation professional with 27 years of combined airport, airline and consulting experience. He is an airport airline leader professional who does a little bit of everything. Mookie and Shelley discuss the pitfalls of airport construction and document turnover that creates a disconnect after projects are finished. The advantages of creating a sustainable building in the first place to save on repairs later. Mookie notes that MySmartPlans is "poking the bear. That public officials and airports have grown numb to. A project gets completed, ribbon cutting, everything is going great, and 11 months into it, there was no one year warranty, or that tile failed. It’s too difficult for a project manager to trace back if it was civil work or structural that made that tile fall off the wall". They discuss all the little pieces that need to fit together for a successful airport and that, "software is only as good as the data you put into it".
