Analyse the Complex Airport Value Chain as Well as the Competitive Structure of the Market.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45811) has announced the addition of "World Airports - Financial Evolution and Market Dynamics" to their offering.

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled World Airports - Financial Evolution and Market Dynamics provides an overview of the global airport market. It provides valuable information on the current trends in the market and also includes a description of the worldwide penetration of the market by major airport companies. This research study analyses the complex airport value chain as well as the competitive structure of the market.

Market Sector

Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research:

* Global Airports

Technologies

The following technologies are covered in this research:

* Aeronautical aer·o·nau·tic   also aer·o·nau·ti·cal
adj.
Of or relating to aeronautics.

 revenues: Aeronautical revenue sources are those directly associated with airport infrastructure related charges such as aircraft landing and taking-off fees, aircraft parking charges, passenger services fees. Aeronautical charges are imposed for the provision and use of an airport runway, apron apron,

apron band,
n a labioincisal or gingival extension of an orthodontic band that aids in retention of the band and in proper positioning of the bracket.
 and terminal facilities.

* Non-aeronautical revenues: Non-aeronautical revenues refer to revenues from rentals from commercial outlets or concessionaires within airport terminals and from passengers.

* Flight Operations: Flight operations include air traffic services (tower, runaway traffic, apron and taxiway taxiway: see airport.  services and gates) and telecommunications.

* Terminal Operations The reception, processing, and staging of passengers; thereceipt, transit, storage, and marshalling of cargo; the loadingand unloading of modes of transport conveyances; and themanifesting and forwarding of cargo and passengers todestination. See also operation; terminal. : These include safety (fire protection), security and police as well as emergency services emergency services Emergency care '…services …necessary to prevent death or serious impairment of health and, because of the danger to life or health, require the use of the most accessible hospital available and equipped to furnish those services'  

* Ground Services: Ground services include luggage services, in-flight services and cargo services. Some of these services also include passengers handling, ticketing, baggage cargo and mail handling, load control, operations and flight planning Flight planning is the process of producing a flight plan to describe a proposed aircraft flight. It involves two safety-critical aspects: fuel calculation, to ensure that the aircraft can safely reach the destination, and compliance with air traffic control requirements, to , ramp handling, line maintenance and engineering, representation and accommodation, supervision and administration, surface transport.

Market Overview

Enhanced Customer-focused Approach to Result in Diversification of Airport Revenue Sources The air transport industry, one of the world fastest growing industries, is assuming greater importance in the economic and social development of countries worldwide. The growing diversification of airports revenue sources is an indicator of the evolving integration of airports into the economies in which they operate. Accordingly, as airports are becoming attractive business centres that aid in boosting urban economic growth, the trend is resulting in enhanced focus on customer-driven profiles and the quality of airport facilities. In recent times, airport traffic in big hubs has exhibited a notable increase. Accordingly, a remarkable level of consolidation of air traffic away from secondary hubs and towards big ones has emerged and the anticipated consolidation of the hub system is expected to drastically transform the distribution of air traffic among airports.

Airports across the world are seeking to limit their reliance on aeronautical revenues to generate resources to meet rising infrastructure demands. As a result, the market is witnessing greater focus on commercial revenues from retailing, advertisements, ground transport and property development to generate profits. The importance of non-aeronautical revenues is a good indicator of the new model of business-oriented airport operators entering the industry and the emergent emergent /emer·gent/ (e-mer´jent)

 importance given to customer service, says the analyst of this research service. Hence, with multiple commercial opportunities being exploited, airports are increasingly being viewed as more than air service providers.

Long-term Success to Depend on Development of Core Airport Operations

Success in the global and competitive airport industry will require marketing and new business development skills beyond those that currently exist, remarks the analyst. Thus, airport operators will need to demonstrate key competencies in core airport operations such as technical operations, facility management and safety as well as the management of traditional airport activities such as airport planning.

Further, the strategic location of airports, their size as well as the catchment area catchment area or drainage basin, area drained by a stream or other body of water. The limits of a given catchment area are the heights of land—often called drainage divides, or watersheds—separating it from neighboring drainage  are crucial factors that will assist in attracting investments, thus contributing to passenger growth.
