PAX AMENITIES
Airports face very thin margins—and revenue
from airlines does not fully cover their operat-
ing costs. Generating non-aeronautical revenue
has gained momentum, and one way airports
are doing this is by improving the passenger
experience.
But first it's important to understand exactly
where airports currently derive their revenue.
Here is what we learned, parking not surprising-
ly tops the list of revenue generation, but adver-
tising on kiosks, digital signage etc. received
a low ranking (an untapped source of revenue
for many perhaps?) Airports are increasingly
realizing that passengers have a choice in the
airport they fly out, and many are willing to drive
a greater distance for a better traveling expe-
rience. A variety of passenger amenities are
being added from live entertainment to yoga
rooms to pet relief stations and everything in
between. Take a look at the passenger ameni-
ties our readers hope to see at their
airports in the near future.
