Panel Session Three: The future of Passenger Terminal Retailing

Creating commercial space – the SkyWorld in the Hamburg Airport Plaza
By the end of 2008, Hamburg Airport will open a third terminal building located between two existing passenger terminals, which will be specifically dedicated to retailing and F&B uses and almost triple the existing commercial space. The presentation will refer to the parameters the planning process, including market research, location branding and space allocation issues, and explain why the Shopping Plaza may well serve as a business case for “retail driven terminals” in Europe.

The emerging waves of airport retail
In retailing, the only thing constant is change. Airport retail is sensitive to global security issues, foreign tax policies, passenger flows and the diverse demographics of its customers. Waves of airport retail development now extend beyond airport terminals to engage adjacent communities. This session will explore how these shifts are affecting gateway airports and emerging second tier airports.

Terminal masterplan 2020 for Frankfurt Airport
Frankfurt Airport’s infrastructure is currently undergoing huge redevelopment. Affected by the need for more capacity, lean and cost-efficient processes, facilities for widebody aircraft operations, space to expand and optimise retail areas and new security regulations, Frankfurt Airport developed a Terminal Masterplan up to the year 2020. It aims at optimising and and refurbishing existing Terminals 1 and 2 by 2012. Moreover, a modular passenger terminal with a capacity for 25 million is planned to open in different phases between 2013 and 2020. Fullfilling all customer needs in budget and with time efficiency are the main factors influencing all projects. From this background, the presentation will give a complete picture of the status of different plans and projects currently underway.

Thinking outside the (airport) box – can Dublin Airport become an airport city region?
Dublin Airport, a state-owned and operated airport, was Europe’s 16th largest airport in 2006. It has witnessed unprecedented growth compared to a number of its peer airports. It is responding to the Irish Government’s commercial mandate (State Airports Act 2004) by undertaking an intensive capital investment programme valued at over €2 billion. It currently has a record-breaking ratio of 70% vs 30% of non-aeronautical to aeronautical revenues in 2006. The speaker will set out an alternative vision for Dublin Airport, taking into account its ability to develop Dublin Airport as an airport city region.
