FAQs

Comprehensive audits should be conducted quarterly, with more frequent spot checks on high-traffic areas. Monthly reviews of sales performance and customer feedback are also recommended.

The checklist covers tenant mix strategy, lease agreement compliance, product pricing and quality control, customer service standards, visual merchandising, food safety in F&B outlets, sales reporting accuracy, marketing effectiveness, and sustainability practices in retail operations.

The audit team should include the airport's commercial manager, retail coordinators, concession supervisors, financial analysts, and customer experience specialists. Representatives from major retail tenants may also be involved in certain aspects of the audit.

By ensuring a diverse and high-quality retail offering, the checklist helps enhance passenger satisfaction, provides entertainment during layovers, and creates a unique sense of place that reflects local culture and brands.

Post-audit, a detailed report should be prepared highlighting areas for improvement in retail mix, customer service, and operational efficiency. An action plan should be developed to address underperforming areas, introduce new retail concepts, and enhance marketing strategies. Regular follow-ups should be conducted to measure the impact of implemented changes on sales performance and customer satisfaction.
