Reasons for new business models of airports Airport func5ons, ownership and design has changed in the last decades 1) Uncertain5es in air traffic revenues because of deregula5on and liberalisa5on (Dennis, 1994, Bowen, 2000, BuYon, 2002, Janic 2008, Freestone, 2009, Costa et al., 2010), airline bankruptcies, economic downturns and unpredictable fuel costs (de Neufville, 2008, Kramer, 2010) 2) Airports have been priva5sed. As private companies, airports have to be profitable (American Planning Associa5on, 2006, Appold and Kasarda, 2009, Janic, 2008, Freestone, 2009)
Reasons for new business models of airports Airports discovered the non- avia5on sector for gaining revenues (Kasarda, 2008, Kasarda, 2009) Historically, huge empty areas around airports due to safety reasons and noise issues (Bednarek, 2000) These areas were discovered for real estate developments by the airports (Global Airport Ci5es, 2011) Commercializa5on and priva5sa5on culminate in a new business model: Airport Ci5es and Aerotropolises (Kasarda, 2008, Kasarda, 2009)

Meet me at the Airport We are moving to the Airport - in this spaceship looking building over the long- distance train sta9on. So far, we are in a skyscraper in the city with a great view but nevertheless, it s s9ll a lible bit of travelling from the long- distance train sta9on...we have realised that a lot of our customers who are travelling widely interna9onally, ocen pass through Frankfurt. And if they are passing through, they usually have wai9ng 9me either when they arrive or before departure, so that it is possible to combine that with a mee9ng in our office if we are located at the airport.

How to plan a sustainable Airport City/Aerotropolis? If the basic condi9ons of the airports at different loca9ons are the same, then others factors geung more considered. Ques9ons like wage level, employee rights, quality of the road system, availability of qualified employees, loca9on of the compe9tors and existence of a market are becoming more important.

Success factors No blueprint: Every development should be different Interna5onal Airports worldwide look similar, Airport Ci5es and Aerotropolises should be dis5nc5vely at different loca5ons! Regional coordina5on and coopera5on Integrated long- term master planning (air traffic, cargo, economic development agencies, city, etc.) Necessary to integrate airport planning, urban planning, economic development planning and business site planning Customised approach Market studies, strategic concept planning, na5onal economic development strategy Find money Good projects with documented demand will get funded Understand inward investment and companies decision of loca5on
Summary New business model can transform the airport, Airport City or whole city into a mee5ng hub Airports look all over the world the same, Airport Ci5es and Aerotropolises have to be different Understanding the needs of future tenants is crucial Understanding economic development is pivotal Build it and they will come does not work
