As global aviation continues to evolve, airports are under growing pressure to diversify their income beyond traditional aeronautical sources. Non-aeronautical activities such as retail, real estate, parking, and advertising not only enhance passenger experience but also provide essential funding for infrastructure development and service improvements. At ACI World, we are committed to supporting our members in unlocking the full potential of these revenue streams through guidance, research, best practices, and tailored capacity-building programs.
