Along with the global epidemic Covid-19,which emerged in 2019, the importance of interconnected commercial structures in aerotropolis structures also comes to the fore. Thanks to the communication between the stakeholders in the structure, it will be possible to get rid of the harm caused by the epidemic more easily.Aerotropologies in which the airports such as Schiphol, Dallas / Fort Worth, Changi and Dubai can be shown among the examples have been examined within the scope of the study. With the literature review and the review of official websites in 2018, data on airports werecollected.
