Abstract
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This paper aims to describe the main changes occurring in the airport industry with particular attention to the increasing relevance of the non-aviation activities. In fact, during the most recent decades, the airport business has evolved into a dynamic and competitive industry. In order to reduce their deficits airport management policies have progressively favoured the commercial aspects in order to produce greater profit margins. In many countries, greater management elasticity in business administration has occurred, and important modifications have been introduced in the national and international regulations according to a market oriented perspective.</p><p><strong>Design/methodology/approach:</strong> The method used is the case study approach and the analysis utilizes empirical data originating from the airport in Olbia.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> Findings show how the choice to invest in the non-aviation sector can be ascribed to the strategic orientation adopted by airport managers.</p><p><strong>Originality/value:</strong> Empirical evidence can highlight certain trends in the industry, whose values can lead to a core definition of the new paths of development for the airport business to follow in the non-aviation dimension, and identifying at the same time innovative business ideas for opening up new market scenarios.</p>
