A cell phone lot is typically a free parking lot at an airport that allows greeters to park temporarily until a traveler is available for pickup. These lots can assist airport operators in managing curbs and they keep greeters from waiting in unsafe areas on airport roads. However, there is a question about whether the benefits of a cell phone lot outweigh the operating and maintenance costs and foregone revenues.

ACRP Report 121: Innovative Revenue Strategies for Airports—An Airport Guide is a resource that describes a broad range of tools and techniques for airport operators to improve revenue streams, recover costs, or achieve operational efficiencies. The Airport Guide presents ways for airport operators to (1) develop new sources of revenue; (2) increase airport sponsor participation in tenant revenues; and (3) improve the planning, administrative process, and management of existing airport businesses.

In the last decade, economic upheaval, new security protocols, airline mergers and bankruptcies, and adoption of mobile technology have permanently altered the operating environment at airports. Today, most passengers check in and obtain a boarding pass before they arrive at the airport. However, not knowing how long it will really take to move through the terminal, passengers tend to arrive very early for flights. The ground experience before a passenger boards an aircraft has four distinct segments: (1) getting to the airport; (2) waiting in the terminal before security; (3) passing through security checkpoints; and, (4) finding the gate. Once in the terminal, the greatest uncertainty a passenger faces is the time spent at the security checkpoint. This is the one place where airport management has minimal control.

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.

Each year TRB sponsors a series of synthesis reports on current knowledge and practice in the airport industry. The intention of the synthesis is to develop a compendium of best available knowledge on addressing or resolving specific airport problems. Often, if the topic warrants further investigation, a full-scale research effort follows a synthesis project. This synthesis was initiated because a downturn in the demand for air service, general aviation, and cargo at U.S. airports in 2008 and 2009 has had a significant and negative impact on airport finances.
