Research on new sources and development potential of airport business

Abstract

This research focuses on new sources of airport business and their development potential, aiming to explore new drivers for airport business growth in the context of rapid changes in the global aviation industry. Through methods such as literature review, case studies, and international comparisons, this paper systematically analyzes the impact of multiple factors, including nonaeronautical business revenue, digital transformation, green energy utilization, and cross-industry cooperation, on the development of airport business. The research finds that non-aeronautical business revenue has become an important source of income for airports, while digital transformation has significantly improved operational efficiency and service quality. Moreover, green energy utilization not only aligns with the concept of sustainable development but also brings long-term economic benefits to airports. Cross-industry cooperation has opened up new business models and revenue channels for airports.

This study uses SWOT and PESTEL analysis tools to deeply evaluate the potential impact of market trends and policy environments on airport business development, and identifies best practices, challenges, and response strategies through case studies. The research results provide strategic support for airport managers and policymakers, helping them grasp industry development trends, optimize resource allocation, and formulate effective business growth strategies. The paper concludes by proposing specific suggestions and practical directions for promoting the sustainable development of airport business, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for airports to achieve business diversification and sustainable growth in the new era.
