Overview
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) medium term forecast, global passenger traffic in terms of passenger -kilometers performed is expected to
continue to expand at 6.1 per cent in 2006. For the years 2007 and 2008, it is forecast to grow at 5.8 and 5.6 per cent respectively. Again, according to the Airports Council
International (ACI), its current member airports will see passenger numbers grow from 3.1 billion in 1999 to 4.6 billion in 2020. In addition, the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) predict that between 2006-2010 airlines will experience the highest traffic growth in emerging and large population Regions; with the United States being the
most profitable of all Global Regions.
With major commercial airports planning to become giant airport cities (Aerotropolis), in conjunction with new airports scheduled to open and airlines refocused on becoming world-class enterprises in this decade. In addition to the rapid growth of existing small airports, total passenger numbers according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will double in the next 12 years. The Airport and Airline industry are therefore, one of the world's fastest growing industries, and assuming greater importance in the economic and social development of countries worldwide. The growing diversification of airport revenue sources and the consolidation of airlines is an indicator of the evolving integration of airports and airlines into the economies in which they operate. These trends are resulting in enhanced focus on customer-driven profiles, hedging to limit increases in jet fuel prices, lowering labor costs, and the improvement of airport facilities. Additionally, a remarkable level of further consolidation of air traffic away from secondary hubs and towards big ones has emerged and this consolidation is expected to drastically transform the distribution of air traffic among airports.
Unlike most industries, the airport and airline industry continues to spend during economic downturns. Due to the long term nature of the capital expenditure programs and the immense challenge of continuing to meet the astonishing increases in demand for air transportation. Airports across the world are seeking to limit their reliance on aeronautical revenues to generate resources to meet rising infrastructure demands. Global and national Airliners in turn, are seeking to reduce competition, increase air fair fees, and reduce operating costs, especially form jet fuel and labor. As a result, the market is witnessing greater focus on commercial revenues from retailing, in-flight entertainment, advertisements, cargo/ground support and property development to generate profits. With so many multiple commercial opportunities being exploited airports and airlines are increasingly being viewed as more than service providers.
Airport Innovation will therefore examine this evolving industry as its readers, the airport/airline operators, will need to demonstrate key competencies in core airport/airline operations, facility management and safety, as well as the management of traditional airport/airline activities, including airport/airline planning. Published quarterly by Analysts in Media (AIM Inc.), Airport Innovation evaluates the key discussion points amongst airport/airline operators and decision makers as they strive to enhance process efficiency. In addition, Airport Innovation's 35,000 audited circulation, and global online readership will therefore target the key individuals who are making the next strategic and purchasing decisions, with up-to date case studies, interviews, white papers and email marketing campaigns.
