The development of the aviation industry affects airport structures. Liberalization currents and the phenomenon of globalization also diversify airport ownership. The importance of the privatization approaches of airports also leads airport operators to new business models that will increase their income. In this context, the airport city model defines a structure in which airport activities are located in the center and its environment is urbanized with the related industry branches. Given that airport revenues consist of aviation and non-aviation revenues, maximization of non-aviation revenues is also important in airport cities. The fact that the aviation industry is an ever-growing attractive market brings the element of competition among the sector players to the fore. The commercialization activities of airports also affect competition between airports and airport cities. According to the traditional approach, the primary customers of the airports are airline companies. Passengers stand out as secondary customers. In the airport city approach, both airline companies and passengers-greeters-visitors and employees are included in the airport customer group. For this reason, there are many income increasing units in the airport city model such as accommodation facilities, living areas, and shopping centers. In the model, the demand for airline transportation activities is expanding by increasing the regional attraction with the diversification of industry and social reinforcement areas. In this study, the airport city model is discussed and evaluated from a conceptual point of view. Important issues were discussed for the sustainable success of the airport city model. Finally, the elements needed to treat Istanbul Airport as an airport city are proposed.
