ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Last year, global duty-free and travel retail sales at airports reached US$36bn; non-aviation revenues (shopping, F&B, car parking, advertising, real estate etc) represented 40% of total airport revenues. Although these are significant amounts, the full non-aviation business potential is often not realised at airports.

This webinar will explore trends in the airport non-aero sector and how they can help airports, no matter their size and navigate good and turbulent economic times!
