Document Summary:

This Booklet builds on guidance within IATA’s Airport Ownership and Regulation manual to identify solutions to better define and deliver airport concessions.


Document Details:

There are a range of different concession models which may be applied depending on the specific circumstances and requirements for an airport, and government’s strategic objectives.

The commercial arrangements included in a concession contract are complex, and how they are specified will have a material impact on all stakeholders, not only government and the concessionaire.

Given the above, this Booklet seeks to establish the concept of a Balanced Concession and identify where it can lead to improved outcomes for the aviation industry as a whole, and its stakeholders.
