  In this work, I present a full analytical theory for the Goos-H\"anchen and
Imbert-Fedorov shifts experienced by an Airy beam impinging on a dielectric
surface. In particular, I will show how the decay parameter $\alpha$ associated
with finite energy Airy beams is responsible for the occurence of giant angular
shifts. A comparisons with the case of Gaussian beams is also discussed.
