Abstract

In recent years airports have become more commercially oriented and have endeavoured to result in an increasing share of their revenues from non-aeronautical or commercial activities. This paper examines the airport concession sector and the important factors influencing concession revenues. Furthermore, the paper seeks to focus attention on various contract strategies of airport concessions, analyzing the example of Dubrovnik Airport. Contract terms between lessee (concessionaire) and lessor (airport authority) are found to be a significant element for better performance of airport concessions.
