Airport privatisation and commercialisation have led to airports no longer being regarded as mere infrastructure providers rather than profit-making enterprises. As a consequence of this shift in the airport business model, `to be or not to be' is rapidly becoming the strategic choice for regional airports. In the United Kingdom (UK) the development and diversification of the non-aeronautical sector is becoming an extremely desirable survival technique for regional airports to counter any potential threats. In addition to the use of relevant case studies this research interviews several senior Airport Commercial Managers, of both international airport Groups and regional airports in the UK, in relation to the development and success of airport non-aeronautical activities. The different strands of the non-aeronautical sector are discussed and analysed in this paper. The comparative analysis of International Gateways and regional airports is also conducted.
