Sumario:Purpose: Airports play a vital role in global transportation networks, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and services, while also serving as catalysts for economic growth; however, it also has an environmental and social impact that needs to be analyzed. This literature review aims to address knowledge gaps concerning the influence of airport infrastructure on economic, socio-economic, environmental, and sustainability factors. Theoretical Framework: Adopts a multidisciplinary approach, blending economic, environmental, and societal theories of impact. Design/Methodology/Approach: The SPAR-4-SLR protocol was utilized, analyzing a comprehensive set of 32 scientific papers categorized within the previously mentioned areas. Findings: Several areas were identified that require further investigation, including strategies to mitigate the environmental impact of airports, assessment of socioeconomic implications on local communities, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of airport operations. Originality/Value: Going beyond the conventional focus, the study provides original insights that extend the understanding of direct economic benefits, environmental consequences, and societal impacts. By synthesizing diverse perspectives, this research contributes significantly to the discourse on airport development, making it an invaluable resource for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers
