Commercial trade and restaurants
The “Airport” shopping centre
Pisa Airport is not only a place where aircraft land and take off but also a centre of commercial activities and services which offers passengers, airport operators and residents of nearby areas an opportunity for shopping and leisure - just like a shopping centre.
The range of products available in the Galileo Galilei Airport shops are the result of a thorough selection of suppliers, giving particular attention to the valorization of the typical regional and local products, and to the respect of service standards indicated in the respective sub-contracted agreements.
The retail business activity in the Airport’s passenger terminal is also very close to the city centre. Consequently many city customers come to shop and use the various services available (banking, bureau de change, railway, DHL and Fedex couriers,hair stylist).
For city customers, the terminal has turned out to be a real service centre open 7 days a week and 24 hours a day.
In particular, the “Airport” shopping centre relies on some important characteristics:
- High predictability of the demand – passengers’ profiles are well known.
- An international market by its very nature.
- Customers with generally high incomes.
- Open all year round 7 days a week in the landside area (before security controls) from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm and in the airside area (after security controls) 60 minutes before boarding of the first departing flight until boarding of the last departing flight of the day.
- Speedy connections and a large number of parking spaces
- To date, more than 90 commercial services have chosen Pisa Airport as the best window of opportunity to develop their business. Among these services, 24 shops of international renown are available and represent important brands like Conte of Florence, Salmoiraghi e Vigano, I Santi, Linea Aeroportuale Sole, etc…
A fertile ground for business opportunities!
With over 3,700,000 passengers, Galilei Airport is only a stone’s throw away from the city centre, and with plenty of room for expansion makes an ideal location for new businesses.
