| 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. | ||||
