  • Nowadays, Airports Enterprises Are Not Limited with the Aviation Services but They Include Also the Non-Aviation Ones
    International Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management Volume 1, issue 2, December 2018 ______________________________________________________ ASSESSING NON-AERONAUTICAL ACTIVITIES AT CAIRO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT _______________________________________________________ NOHA ABOU EL-GHEIT MOHAMED NAGEH RAGHEB FACULTY OF TOURISM AND HOTELS, SOUTH VALLEY UNIVERSITY, LUXOR BRANCH, EGYPT ABSTRACT Nowadays, airports enterprises are not limited with the aviation services but they include also the non-aviation ones. Thus, they are targeting to enlarge their commercial activities for the purpose of gaining revenues. Therefore, there is a growing attention towards the development of these activities. The objective of this research is to assess the non-aviation (non- aeronautical) activities at Cairo International Airport by comparing it to Singapore Changi airport. A checklist was formulated based on the non-aeronautical services provided at Singapore Changi airport containing 9 main items divided into sub-items related to the main one. Data collected depend on the observation at Cairo International airport and from the navigation of the two websites of both. The overall findings refer to the marked gap between Singapore Changi airport and Cairo International airport especially in the entertainment and passengers’ services for the businessmen and the VIPs. KEYWORDS: Airports, Passengers, Aeronautical activities, Non- aeronautical activities, Commercial facilities. INTRODUCTION Airports are traditionally understood as places for aviation services such as airport terminals, runways, control towers, etc. that serve travelling issue. These services are mainly serve three main elements 137 International Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management Volume 1, issue 2, December 2018 which are aeroplanes, passengers, and cargo (Kasarda, 2006).

The terrorists’ destination is a tiny Aegean island where a U.S. aerospace corporation carefully guards the Cyclops 20-megawatt laser launch facility. But the company security force is no match for the firepower of the Arab invasion and the launch site is quickly overrun. With helpless horror, the executives can only watch as renegade technicians convert the launch vehicle into a ballistic missile that can deliver their stolen thermonuclear warhead to any city in the U.S.
