As the airline industry continues to consolidate and strives to achieve greater efficiencies and lower costs, airports are responding to an environment in which demand (and rent) for facilities is not only less predictable, but often reduced, sometimes at short notice. Bankruptcies, mergers, and capacity cuts have resulted in reduced occupancy of terminals and concourses and in terminated leases on a variety of buildings, including maintenance and cargo facilities, hangars, catering kitchens, and other support centers. This report presents an overview of the issues surrounding reuse of aeronautical facilities. Information used for this synthesis was gathered through a series of case studies and interviews with airport directors, property managers, and community economic development agencies. The report includes a broad examination of reuse situations that address interim and long-term solutions to reuse, the decision process to maintain or demolish a structure, environmental and regulatory issues, success stories, and obstacles to effective reuse.
