Airport city is a term for an "inside the fence" airport area including the airport (terminals, apron, and runways) and on-airport businesses such as air cargo, logistics, offices, retail, and hotels. The airport city is at the core of the aerotropolis, a new urban form evolving around many major airports. The airport city model recognises that an airport can do more than perform its traditional aeronautical services, evolving new non-aeronautical commercial facilities, services and revenue streams. Airports are now routinely targeting non-aeronautical revenue streams amounting to 40–60% of their total revenues. Industry leaders and researchers share best practices on non-aeronautical revenues for airports at conferences and in literature, including refereed literature.〔Reiss, B. (2007). Maximising Non-Aviation Revenue for Airports: Developing Airport Cities to Optimise Real Estate and Capitalise on Land Development Opportunities. Journal of Airport Management, 1 (3), 284-293.〕〔Martel, F. (2009). External Factors and their Impact on Non-Aeronautical Revenue. Journal of Airport Management, 3 (4), 337-344.〕 With airports typically surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of hectares of undeveloped land that acts as an environmental buffer for nearby residents, it has been recognised that airports are sitting on a potential goldmine of real estate opportunities.〔Taylor, Matthew S. "Land of Opportunity," Global Airport Cities, May 6, 2011, http://www.globalairportcities.com/news/features/land-of-opportunity.〕〔Van Wijk, M. (2007). Airports as Cityports in the City-Region, Spatial-Economic and Institutional Positions and Institutional Learning in Randstad-Schiphol (AMS), Frankfurt Rhein-Main (FRA), Tokyo Haneda (HND) and Narita (NRT). Doctoral dissertation. 328 pages. 2007.

Services and facilities are designed to guide travelers easily through the airport process. Access is key for passengers, cargo, businesses, and residents, many of whom work in the airport city. ''Time'' has named it as one of "10 ideas that will change the world".〔Iyer, Pico. "10 Ideas That Will Change the World," Time, March 17, 2011, http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2059521_2059701,00.html〕 == Drivers == The chapter "The Way Forward" from ''Global Airport Cities'' describes the basic airport city drivers, which have evolved with different spatial forms predicated on available land and ground transportation infrastructure: # Airports need to create new non-aeronautical revenue sources, both to compete and to better serve their traditional aviation functions. # The commercial sector's pursuit of affordable, accessible land. # Increased gateway passengers and cargo traffic generated by airports. # Airports serving as a catalyst and magnet for landside business development.〔Kasarda, John D., “The Way Forward,” Global Airport Cities, 2010. http://www.aerotropolis.com/files/GlobalAirportCities.pdf〕 The most common airside and landside airport city commercial activities include: duty-free shops and airline lounges; restaurants, catering, and other food services; specialty retail and factory outlet centres; cultural and entertainment attractions; hotels; banks and currency exchanges; business offices and complexes; convention and exhibition centres; leisure, recreation and fitness venues; logistics and distribution; perishables and cold storage; and free trade zones and customs-free zones. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「airport city」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
