1.0         Introduction to AIRPortal

The Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Aviation Administration (MDOT MAA) is responsible for the Baltimore/Washington – Thurgood Marshall International (BWI) and Martin State (MTN) Airports located in Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties, Maryland; respectively. AIRPortal is a secure web-based portal through which users can access data, documents, and applications that facilitate critical MDOT MAA business functions.

AIRPortal contains a comprehensive set of spatial data such as basemap layers, utilities, structures, and interior space layers, as well as engineering and construction documents for design projects, building permits, planning documents, and environmental documents. The information in AIRPortal can be distributed among offices within the MDOT MAA, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and with firms contracted to do business with the MDOT MAA.

AIRPortal was created to help reduce data redundancy, improve the accuracy and integrity of geospatial information, and make data usage and data sharing more efficient. It is MDOT MAA’s single authoritative source for this type of information. The AIRPortal system is administered by the GIS and Engineering Technology Section (GETS) of the Division of Planning and Engineering of the MDOT MAA.
