Noteworthy Features: 1,000 additional acres of underutilized land recently created historic district Sample Tenants: Brewing company print shop construction firms auto parts store etc. Noteworthy Feature: 12,300-foot primary runway, built when Schilling Air Force Base occupied the fieldĪirport & Park Operator: Delaware River & Bay Authority Sample Tenants: Convenience stores educational institutions light manufacturing businesses warehouse/distribution centers pizza factory rescue mission etc. Project: Growing Non-Aeronautical Revenue The Salina Airport Industrial Center, just outside the perimeter fence of Salina Regional Airport (SLN) in Kansas, includes apartments, convenience stores, two secondary education institutions (Salina Area Technical College and Kansas State University at Salina), light manufacturing businesses, warehouse and distribution centers, the world's largest pizza factory, a rescue mission, an agency that helps individuals with disabilities find jobs and develop skills, and more. Perhaps the term "airport town" will become equally popular. While many associate the airport city or aerotropolis model with large, metropolitan areas, small facilities in more rural settings are also successfully leveraging the concepts.
The type of airports benefiting from non-traditional tenants and activities may also surprise some in the industry.
Pizza makers, football teams and brew houses certainly aren't the most common sources of non-aeronautical revenue but they're exactly the kind of businesses currently adding to the bottom line at some airports.
