Enliven’s Airport Practice Leader, Martin Strobel, has been invited to speak at the 2020 Finance & Administration Conference of the Southeast Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives on February 11, 2020. Martin Strobel will be a key member of a panel discussing ways that airports can diversify its portfolio of non-aeronautical revenue streams.
Title: Creative Non-Aeronautical Revenue Generation
Time: February 11, 2020, from 10:30-11:20am
Location: Omni Amelia Island Plantation
Presentation Overview:
Non-aeronautical revenue is critical to an airport’s ongoing health, giving the airport the ability to both enhance the passenger journey for its customers while also offsetting airline fees to provide affordable transportation options within its market. With more established business lines currently being threatened with the growth of ride hailing companies (Uber, Lyft, etc.), forward-thinking airports are looking for new, creative ways to generate non-aeronautical revenue.
Martin has been invited to the panel to discuss the role that “pouring rights agreements” – agreements with major beverage companies like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo – can play to boost non-aeronautical revenue. Pouring rights agreements are a ubiquitous best practice between large beverage companies and premier properties like universities, arenas, stadiums, theme parks, hospital systems, hotel companies and restaurant companies. They are now emerging as a best practice for airports around the world. Martin will explore the financial and other benefits that airports can expect to achieve by adopting pouring rights. Using real-world, current examples of airport-sector pouring rights in place and currently under development, this presentation will summarize everything airport executives need to know about how to pursue a pouring rights agreement for their airports.
