ACI - Airport Non-Aeronautical Revenues
The course will aim to emphasize the opportunities available to airport managers to enhance nonaeronautical and through third-party services. This will involve engaging participants to understand the role of innovation, competitiveness, and new outreach technologies in developing marketing strategies that effectively influence the airport’s strategic business plan. Also important for airports to understand is how best to address the challenging relationships between airport management, its primary customers (airlines, passengers, cargo operators), and concession providers together with suppliers (e.g. retail brands). Ultimately, the course will assist participants to develop and maintain long-term value propositions for all affected parties.
