Abstract

This study aims to provide a literature synthesis of what has been studied in the context of small airports, emphasizing topics such as airport project management and innovation to subsidize a future conceptual model for small airport project management based on innovation principles. Also, this paper is the first step of a major project that seeks to identify the capability of innovation in small airports. To this end, a scoping review of the literature, with elements of a comprehensive search, has resulted in a list of peer-reviewed papers showing the main lines of study about these infrastructures. The search using the descriptor "small airport" and synonyms through databases like ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science returned a universe of 3.746 unique studies for possible investigation in the last ten years. The present study shows the initial findings of an ongoing holistic evaluation of 1.186 documents with the potential to be included in the final review. Despite the significant number of papers that deal with each theme separately, a much smaller number deal with them together. Hence, the scoping review is the most appropriate methodology to verify opportunities, support the conceptual model mentioned above and future studies on the subject.
