ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a detailed assessment of airport revenues and costs. It starts by considering revenue structures and the mix between aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues. It then looks, in turn, at each of these revenue streams. This is followed by a discussion of the airport cost structures. The remaining part of the chapter explores the factors that influence airport revenues and costs, ranging from outsourcing practice to the volume and nature of traffic and other locational and institutional features.
