An analysis of future trends in non-aeronautical revenue: A case study from Adelaide Airport

Abstract

The need for airports to further develop non-aeronautical revenue continues to be a major concern for worldwide, privatised and commercially focused airports. The aim of this paper is to analyse future trends in non-aeronautical revenue sources and to identify both the opportunities available and possible threats to current revenue streams. This paper utilises Adelaide Airport operations as a case study and investigates the various factors potentially impacting non-aeronautical revenue in this context.
